I'm now the Lord of the Brighton Manor.

I didn't grow up in a small New England town like the one in 'The Sundial.' I was raised in an apartment building in Queens, not in a sprawling, slightly sinister mansion like the one where the Halloran family resides.

I was not someone who participated in other people's castles.

I didn't actually grow up in London.

I was born in a small suburb of Ilford in a rather nasty housing estate that my mother despised. She had grown up in the country, so when the war came and I was evacuated to Wales she thought I was much better off there.

I wasn't born, I was ordered from room service.

I didn't have a childhood.

I'm not of the manor born; I've never felt entitled in that way. I just came to Hollywood to be an actor. All that lifestyle stuff is something to be managed.

I was never really a big presence in the home.

I didn't choose to be an actress.
