I want to explore the range of emotions it is possible to feel.
The curious thing is that I embraced homosexuality with as much joy and delight as I've embraced everything else in my life.
My mother died of a stroke in 1974, and for a long time, I blamed myself. She was utterly devastated when I told her I was a lesbian not long before.
I don't understand why gay people are so anxious to get married.
I don't like religion.
My vocabulary is vast and expert, and I don't think I overuse any word.
My feeling is that the English are naturally anti-Semitic.
I'm not sure I approve of theatre as a university course. I think theatre's something you do. I mean, literature is a subject; theatre is practical.
People seem comfortable with me. And maybe that's got a lot to do with shows like Graham Norton. You just tell it like it is on those programs.
I still miss my parents every day; I adored them. And when you have no children, friends are even more important to you.
I may have a talent for acting, but I am incapable of doing anything else.
My home in Adelaide was the Adina Hotel.
I have a class prejudice - against the upper class, which is foolish.
My looks have changed, but I was never beautiful, so I'm not any less beautiful now.
People who were gay were pitied and ridiculed by my parents - they had no modern sense of people being allowed to be who they were.
I wouldn't consider retiring to India: there are too many people, and it's difficult walking along the pavements. I'd love to spend two or three months a year there.
Sydney has taken my money, Melbourne has my respect, but Adelaide has taken my heart; I shall return.
The main fear about growing old as an actor is not losing the looks. I never had any to speak of, and what I had I've still got, but losing the memory is another matter.
