I'm not homophobic. I mean, who cares? You know the state of the world, and you're only here for about 70, 80, years, so why do people worry about somebody's sex life? It's bonkers, really.

Cram

Me

My first big disappointment is always, why don't I look like Julie Christie? Then I realise I don't look remotely like Julie Christie, and that's always a great sadness to me.

People

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

Me

Myself

Nobody
|

Living
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't ever think of myself as coming from a particular class because my father was working class but made his living as a newspaper foreign correspondent - someone of no fixed abode, as he used to say - who was as comfortable dining with the Mountbattens in India as he was having a pint with the boys. He was very gregarious.

Matter
|
Nov 07, 2020

I did go to public school, but that's only because my parents were abroad. As a matter of fact, I think that's helped my work. I can go from Victoria Wood's 'Dinnerladies' to playing Barbara Cartland, from 'Coronation Street' to playing Celia in Last 'Tango'.

Generation

My parents were adorable. They were very kind, and very broad-minded compared to people of their generation.

Job
|
Nov 07, 2020

Family
|

Morning
|
Nov 07, 2020

I like waking up in the morning and thinking, 'Mmm, I might go to Paris today.' I don't want to ask anyone if they want to come with me or mind me going. I like being my own agent. I have my grandsons and son. If I didn't have them, it would be different.

Looking

Enough
|
Nov 07, 2020

Like
|
Nov 07, 2020
