'Downton' took a long time to catch fire in America, but we have been getting good reviews for 'Tango.'
I've a very sweet tooth. Wish I didn't.
I'd make every weapon on the planet unusable. Every bomb. Every gun.
Your confidence is destroyed when you find out you can't trust people.
I've accepted stuff even if it's a few lines, because I think it's better to be seen.
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. Because I used to think I might have done, at one time. And I'm too fat. And I'm too old. You always see your faults, you see.
I should be in an old people's home now, counting the roses in the wallpaper. It's a good life, isn't it?
Inner talent gives you that ease. It's not a remarkable thing - just a knack that gives you a very nice life.
In my day, the films you got were about mature people, people with some kind of weight.
You don't feel old when you get old.
I'm quite surprised I ever got married in the first place.
Christmas Day itself hasn't always been great. My parents went abroad when I was very young, and I went to boarding school. We had a few Christmases before that - I remember a big sack of presents and Mummy cooking goose.
My father was full of tales. He said his family were ministers in the Church of Scotland, or they were lawyers.
Now that I know about my great-great-grandfather, I feel that John Reid and I would have got on well together.
I don't do so much acting work now, as there aren't the parts except for 'Tango'. So if I didn't have the cabaret work, I don't know what I would be doing.
I now do my own cabaret act, singing and telling stories about my life.
Wouldn't it be lovely if there were no such things as birth certificates? If I really thought I was 53, life would be much better. I'd love to blow up all the birth certificates.
I think it's such a clever idea, that you fall in love when you're 16, and then you have this fantasy about that person for the rest of your life.
I think people can't believe I can still walk and talk and get on the stage without assistance.
I'm more temperamental. As I've got older, I've become more demanding.
