Diane Cilento

My mother felt it was time that I had some parental control, so I went off to America and went to New York.

If you were in the film industry at that time, you were always picked up by directors who were much older. You were whisked about and shown things. I did work very hard though.

You never came home for lunch: you just stayed doing, playing, having fun, surfing, running round.

There are lots of procedural shows that I love, but I never really wanted to be a doctor on 'E.R.' - which I'm just picking as an example - or be on a crime procedural.

It's an ear job, not an eye job.

All true language is incomprehensible, like the chatter of a beggar's teeth.
