I would hate to be 65 and think, 'What if I had tried to be an actor?'

It wasn't until I'd turned 50 and had been in the business 25 years that I realized I might actually have a career as an actor.

In the 60s, if you wanted to be an actor, you couldn't do just one thing.

I didn't want to be an actress when I was younger - not even when I was older, to tell you the truth.

I didn't actually begin professionally acting until I was 30.

I didn't want to be an actor.

I actually didn't always want to be an actor.

When you're a young actor, there's this pressure to rush. But I hope to be doing this into my sixties and seventies, so I'd prefer to take my time.

I've played a lot of roles I haven't wanted to play, either because they needed someone in the theatre or because they couldn't do it without me 'cause they don't have anyone else the right age.
