The academy awards in England; it's a classy affair as well.
From Brenda Blethyn
It's a real leveller, you know, to do theatre at least once every two years.
I think behind closed doors people behave differently no matter what period we're looking at, because people have to stand up straight in public but can slouch behind closed doors - can you imagine wearing those corsets?
I hate that people think going to the theatre is a special occasion. I wish people would treat it as normally as going to the cinema.
Maybe wanting to retire is my ambition.
I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom.
Being a secretary was considered a very good job in those days.
It's the same as any role and I find that you can't lump characters together; because they all have different life experiences, different reasons for being the way they are.
I've done a lot of costume drama and theatre - the National Theatre and In fact, most of my work at the theatre, at the National Theatre anyway, was period.
Anything where people have to work together makes me cry.
