I'm very grateful that I have one of those faces that seems to blend back into the crowd. A lot of people pay lip service to wanting a normal life, but it's actually very important to me.

Look at Nicola Walker in 'Last Tango in Halifax.' She has the most wonderful face. You just want to look at her. And if she'd gone off and had Botox and facelifts, I wouldn't want to look at that face because it wouldn't express anything.

The beauty of a face is not a separate quality but a relation or proportion of qualities to each other.

I love a bright lip with a neutral eye. It's an easy, wearable look that gives brightness to your face without looking over-the-top.

When you are mute, you become a good listener - it's all one-way. You appreciate the written word. You appreciate the sound.

A face that is really lovely in repose can fall apart if, when its owner stars to talk, she distorts every feature.

Silence is best.

I have one of those faces that nobody likes.

I think the good thing about my face is it has always been expressive. With Botox that goes - not what you want as an actress.

The most important thing in the face is the eyes, and if you can make the eyes talk, you're halfway there.
