I've been on the road for four years. I won't recognise the place again, until I walk out on stage.

It's a comedy thriller, brilliantly written and it's full of twists and turns at every page. When I was reading it I was desperate to get to the end to find out what happens, it really hooks you.

They handled it very badly. It was disappointing and very humiliating. John York was very rude. He never consulted with me over what he said to the press.

I'm quite grateful to the BBC. They helped me back onto the touring circuit.

Tom is the most eccentric person I have ever worked with. We get on very well and I am most impressed with how he can hold an audience in the palm of his hand.

I never watch TV. I'm a Radio Four addict. I love listening to music too.

I think it's one of my favourite theatres ever, so quirky and wonderful and steeped in history. The space is wonderful and the acoustics are brilliant.

I cannot understate the ability to handle classical texts such as Shakespeare.

They can certainly expect to be very impressed with the technical aspects of the show, fooled and led up the garden path by the story and ultimately have a jolly good laugh!

We were the victims of the new producer but what annoyed me was they told the press we were leaving before us.

I found that a bit unfair. However, I did feel quite liberated when I left. I'm very grateful to the show - it revived a flagging career, but I'm glad to be away from it now.

Creativity without commercialism will result in unseen masterpieces by unknown painters.

And I think now that fate is shaped half by expectation, half by inattention. But somehow, when you lose something you love, faith takes over. -Rose

One doesn't actually meditate on the navel. The chakra is located about two or three inches below the navel, at that point there is an energy access sphere in the middle of the body.

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana

I do hope I play out the contradictions that I feel, all the anxieties and dilemmas. If they're there in the work, then that's brilliant.

Here's a Thanksgiving tip. Generally, your turkey is not cooked enough if it passes you the cranberry sauce.

There is no more sure tie between friends than when they are united in their objects and wishes.

When I passed forty I dropped pretense, 'cause men like women who got some sense.

The good thing about not being drop-dead gorgeous is that as time passes, I don't have much to worry about. I have friends who are actors and every day they look in the mirror with trepidation.

The stories are what no one wants to talk about. So you make up a story because no one is going to tell you the truth.
