Of all the things I do, acting is the thing that grabs most, but there's another level on which it strikes me as being a little silly. In the end you're dressing up and deciding to be somebody.
From Jane Asher
An actor's job is about putting across the author's intention; I don't think of myself on the same level as a creator.
Thank God I've never had the sort of intense fame that means you can't walk up the road. That sort of blazing stardom must be difficult to cope with and maintain; my career has just bubbled along happily.
I do find modern jazz quite tricky.
As a child, I wanted to marry a farmer, but no doubt the reality would have been very different to the idyll in my head.
I swim more or less every day.
Listening to my regular favourites - Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and so on - I always feel, quite misguidedly, that nothing can be too bad if such beauty and brilliance exists in the world.
I adore food and always have.
My parents were not theatrical at all.
The rehearsal time is almost my favourite part of being an actress, particularly if you're working on a play that hasn't been done before.
