I'm A Would-be Rebel. The Good Girl

Women Are Always Self-effacing And Self-denying. There's A Term That Enrages Me, And I Always Used To Swear That I'd Never Play Characters Described That Way. The Term Is "long-suffering."

I'm Not A Republican Any More. Not So Voraciously Anyway - I'm Not In Favour Of The Concept Of Monarchy, But I Do See The Good In It If There's A Good Person In The Role.

I Believe Kids Shouldn't Be Taught Shakespeare. They Should Experience It First By Seeing A Great Production.

I've Always Been Battling Against My Sense Of Dignity And Refinement. I Was Embarrassed By Any Bodily Functions When I Was Younger. I Could Never Even Blow My Nose.

I'm A Naturist At Heart. I Love Being On Beaches Where Everyone Is Naked. Ugly Young People, Beautiful Old People, Whatever. It's So Unsexual And So Liberating.
