It’s challenging to take on something else that is not you and make it very real and have others be able to associate with it. It’s wonderful to provoke thought.
I didn’t think I was going to be an actress. Everybody in my family was in films, and they succeeded so much, I thought, ‘It’s better for me to do something else,’ and they agreed.
I think it’s incumbent on actresses to bring something else to the part which isn’t in the script.
I was very much on the mathematical side, where you probably do your best work before you’re forty-five. Having passed that significant date, I thought I would do something else.
