I'd love to be in another film, but they haven't asked me. I think it's a shame but the prospects of me doing another one now are remote. Please do campaign on my behalf.

It seems that when you get to a certain age you almost give yourself permission to misbehave and say what you think. People allow it, with very old people.

I don't know if you can change things, but it's a drop in the ocean.

I keep seeing myself in my daughter, and I see my mother in me and in her. Bloody hell.

Debate is so much better than denial.

It's getting better but men still earn more and there are more jobs for them. Ageism is a big thing. Parts for women disappear as you get older.

There were people asking 'Can women be funny?' People still ask that. It's like asking: 'Can women breathe in and out?'

Being a mother adds another emotional dimension, a feel for children that I didn't have before I had one. They were a pain before.

I can understand why people get annoyed at being remembered for one thing, but a lot of actors aren't remembered for anything. I don't mind that.

When I think of the future, I think of doing my washing so I've something to wear tomorrow.

I couldn't watch Tom and Jerry. The cruelty was too much. I had all these strange images, of tiny animals, all mixed up.

If grace belongs to God, there are those who say that luck belongs to the Devil and that he looks after his own.

Good people turn to love, courage and kindness in times of crisis, not hate, fear and cruelty.

You can live to be old or young, but you'll always have moments when you lose your head.

Some people fall in love and touch the sky. Some people fall in love and find quicksand. I hover somewhere in between, I swear, I can't make up my mind.

I went to Washington to ask for a little residual payment for the people who had written films in the early, early days, people who never got any residuals on tapes or anything at all.

Sadly, black people disassociate ourselves from the things which make us who we are, identifying them as lesser, or inferior. It's a form of self hate.

To wake for the first time in a new place can be like another birth.

The public voice in the theater today is crude and raucous, and, all too often, weak-minded.

I love musical theatre and my dream is to do Once On This Island.

What matters is discovering myself under the veneer, under the layers that are wrapped around me. There are two 'yous'; there's 'you', the real you, and then there's the image.
