Having my priorities in order has really helped me look better, fresher, and more relaxed.

As I get older, I find that cardio is less important to me. What I want to do more of is intense stretching.

Looking good has never been the most important thing to me. Maybe it's because I'm more conventionally, um, acceptable, so it's not an issue for me. I don't know.

Really rejoice in being yourself. Have your own drumbeat.

Talented people are written off once they hit their 50s and 60s, and the saddest thing is, we just get better as we get older.

My family was going back to England to visit my mother's grandmother, who was very ill. We went up to Liverpool and I met my great-aunt, who was just a force of nature. She was an elocution teacher and a huge enthusiast for theater and the classics. I took her amateur acting class, and she was really impressed with me.
