I think you have to relax about aging. What else can you do?
From Felicity Kendal
We take ourselves so seriously moment by moment, but India shows you a sense of eternity. You're one little ant on a hill. You're part of life, but you're not the whole thing.
As we have more women in power, so the plays and the TV dramas are reflecting what's happening.
Every woman feels she is too old and has missed the boat.
For me, compatibility is a sense of humour, being able to laugh together; that is very important.
I do still get the odd fan letter about The Good Life, clearly written by somebody aged 18, who says: Will you send a photograph? And I think: Maybe it's kinder not to. I'm deeply into my 50s now.
I hope to start enjoying flirting again when I'm 70, like my mother did.
I'm sure people in the business have said: She's too old for that part. I don't hear about it because your agent protects you from those negative things.
So many roles for women demand that you make the audience fall in love with you or sympathise with you.
Success breeds success, and failure leads to a sort of fallow period.
