I Am A Fan Of Marriage And

I Never Thought I Was Particularly Good Looking. But When I See Old Photographs, I Realise That I Was. I Do Wish I Had Known That At The Time Because Beauty Is Power. I Didn't Realise How Lucky I Was To Be Young, Beautiful And In Hollywood. It Didn't Hit Me. Every Day I Woke Up, Went To The Film Studio And Just Got On With It.

I Have The Absolute Utmost Respect For Soap Opera Actors Now. They Work Harder Than Any Actor I Know In Any Other Medium. And They Don't Get Very Much Approbation For It.

What Is So Weird Is That Young People Who Want To Be 'celebrities' Do Not Want To Put In The Hard Work. They Don't Want To Do The Training, Go To Drama School, Read Shakespeare, Try Different Accents And Study Technique. They Just Want To Be Famous. It Is Not Just In England; It's The Same In America And All Over Europe.

And I Used To Write Novels And Little Stories And Compositions And I - But I Put Them Away Because I Started Acting When I Was 17. So There Wasn't Much Time.

I Blame My Grandmother For Encouraging Me To Become An Actress.
