Judi Dench and Ian McKellen taught me how to work hard and respect the theatre.
From Francesca Annis
Some actors get fired up by the sound of the audience. I just want to retreat.
The thing about doing anything artificial to your hair is that you have to look after it. So you're always vulnerable to the weather and time.
The wonderful thing about acting is you move along with your decade. The older you get, the more interesting the parts you get to play and you bring more of your personal experience to the part.
You can love more than one person in your life, but things will be different. There'll be a different dynamic. Needs and desires change.
You have to be careful not to let your fear stop you doing things. It's very exciting to test yourself.
Each decade, I've lived in that decade, so I could easily shed the '20s, the '30s, the '40s.
From one till seven, when we moved to England, I spoke only Portuguese. But I can't speak a word of it now.
I like working in theatre now and I think that once you've done a certain amount of films most actors love working in the theatre because of the camaraderie.
In films people basically work for the camera, you know, and that's why actors can hate each other and not be speaking to each other and still look as if they're in love because really they're loving the camera loving them.
