At 50 you're more confident, more comfortable in your skin and you don't put up with nonsense, especially from men.

Your roots, your family, your friends all become so much more important to you as you get older, especially if you are a wandering minstrel like me.

From Amanda Donohoe

I love my work - it's what I know how to do best.

From Amanda Donohoe

Women's lives get more interesting the older they get. For some reason, when you hit 35, it turns into a grey area filmically. There's not much more until you start playing grannies. I'm not ready for that. I'm just naffed off that, between 35 and 50, there aren't better things about.

From Amanda Donohoe

I read, go for walks and I love to garden. My hands are such a mess. People think I should have movie star hands, but they're just gardening ones. Always slightly grubby and with a bit of dirt under the fingernails.

From Amanda Donohoe

I don't think atheism means one does not believe in a spiritual life. I think it means one does not follow the tenets of the established religions.

From Amanda Donohoe

I think the joy of any soap opera is it is always there. You are allowed into this world for a little while and it's safe in that you are watching other people go through some troubles rather than yourself. It's there every night, and there is something special about that sort of terrestrial television experience for a mass audience.

From Amanda Donohoe

That's the problem with soaps, of course. The stories never end. They can go on and on and on.

From Amanda Donohoe

It's either feast or famine, and that's the way it's been for as long as I can remember. I've spent my whole career thinking I'll never work again. Every actor lives with that insecurity. You just have to negotiate the rapids as they come.

From Amanda Donohoe

My preferred environment is by the sea or somewhere rural. I don't want to be in a city, I don't want to visit New York and I don't want to go shopping.
