At The Time Of The Silver Jubilee,

I Don't Know Who I Am. But I Do Know Who I'm Not. I Have Occasionally Tried Playing People I'm Definitely Not, And That Wasn't A Very Pleasant Experience.

I've Been Working Every Year Since I Started Acting, And I Got Many Awards Before I Won The Oscar For 'the Queen.'

I Think Of Myself As Mirren Rather Than Mironova, Absolutely. I Am A Brit, Really. I Mean When I Go To Russia And I Do Have, Maybe It's A Romantic Fantasy. You Know Us Actors, We're Very Good At Romantic Fantasies.

I Don't Share Lots Of The Phobias That Horror Movies Tap Into. I Don't Mind Spiders Or Snakes Or Darkness.

I'm Under The Impression That This Notion Of Decency Is Disappearing From Our Society Where Conflicts Are Made Worse On Cinema And On Television, Where People Are Nasty And Cruel On The Internet And Where, In General, Everybody Seems To Be Very Angry.
