I was very, very young, living in India. I'd been put to bed in the afternoon, and I had that lovely feeling you have when you're about to nod off. I remember the yellow curtains of the room blowing in the wind and feeling blissfully happy and content.

I was nourished and nurtured at Stratford as a very young actress. They guided me and forgave me!

I was nice and well-mannered because I was taught manners. I was very imaginative and quite adventurous. I was a tomboy, and I was always jealous that my older brother Hugh had bigger toy aeroplanes than me. I was always playing with boys' toys; I don't remember owning any dolls.

I think I'm a mousepad. I don't want to be a mousepad, but I'm a mousepad. I'm also a screen saver, thank you very much. It's weird.

I became number one just after the World Championships in India. I was very young then, and I remember it was just a great feeling, my first World Championship.

I remember feeling that. I couldn't do, nor did I want to do, the kinds of roles I'd been doing.
