Since my worldview has expanded, I don't consider myself working class anymore, and I'm attracted to playing characters who go through a similar evolution.

When I was young, I grew up in a family of working-class people. Not just my parents, but my extended family, as well.

I was brought up in a strong working-class community by working-class parents and relations until I was 18, and that's what I really am. Now all sorts of things have been added, but that's what I am.

My upbringing was middle-class but my parents' families were both working-class so I had this odd combination of working-class background but in a privileged position.

I didn't want to be a slave to any passion anymore. I gave up card playing altogether, even bridge and gambling - more or less. It took me a few years to get out of it.

My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.

While unions did not play a part in my family life when I was being brought up, my early years were most certainly spent in a working-class community.

I'm a nice middle-class girl in real life, and I'm a mom and a grandma, and I usually play sweet characters.

We're a competitive family - we compete in everything we do: playing cards; if we're walking down the street, we want to be the first one down the block.
