Americans Are Very Good At Animating Voices. I Don't Know Why. They Have A Freedom With Them That We British Actors Find More Difficult To Get To.

I've Not Won Different Awards - Many, Many Times - So Luckily I've Practiced That Whenever You Are Nominated For Anything, You Enter Into This Marvelous, Fantabulous Bubble Called The Bubble Of Nomination. The Minute The Envelope Is Opened And Your Name Isn't Called Out, The Bubble Bursts. And No One Calls You Up The Next Day To Say, 'so Sorry You Didn't Win,' Or 'you Looked Gorgeous - Nothing. If You Win, You Get About Another 24 Hours In That Lovely Bubble And Then - Pop - You Are Slightly Wet All Over From The Bubble And Realize That You Have To Get On With Real Life.

The Hardest Period In Life Is One’s Twenties. It’s A Shame Because You’re Your Most Gorgeous, And You’re Physically In Peak Condition. But It’s Actually When You’re Most Insecure And Full Of Self-doubt. When You Don’t Know What’s Going To Happen, It’s Frightening.

There's A Scary Moment When You Realise You're No Longer The Youngest Person In The Room. Especially If You've Been A Successful Young Person. That's Followed, Of Course, By The Realisation That You're Actually The Oldest Person In The Room.
