I think we need to recognize that learning is a lifelong goal, a lifelong experience.

I have always chosen roles that I believed in - not ones that I thought might further my career.

As a child, I'd help my mum cook, and it was ridiculous - she had the correct gadget or utensil for everything. 'Stop! Don't use that, I have exactly the right utensil.' After I left home, I survived on cup-a-meals and never saw myself as being like her. Now I've become her.
