I just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words 'ice queen' attached to me, I feel like banging my head against the wall. There's this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background.
I think in most jobs, you get better as you get older. You gain experience, you gain knowledge.
Often, the roles I'm offered in England are melancholic women who are filled with regret for the past, regret for their fading beauty.
As a younger actor you want to be approved of, you want to gain respect, be admired. All of those things. To say: 'This is me playing this character. And aren't I fantastic!' I don't feel that so much now.
