I think we should be proud of the fact that our face has got lines, because at least that means we have lived.

I've reached a point in my life where going to the supermarket is a day out.

My mum Margaret was a single parent, but though life was a bit of a struggle she gave me every encouragement.

My mother has only just got over the fact that I will never play Shrek's sister - because of the Scottish accent, she thought I'd be perfect.

I take my hat off to mums who have lots of kids. Anyone that says being a mum isn't a full-time job has obviously never had any.

I think it's strange when people my age and younger get surgery. Somebody's got to play old people.

I always felt slightly grubbier than most American people.

Nobody is more individual than you, so be confident with who you are and what you have to offer because everybody has got things to offer.

Mind you, if a blockbuster movie was offered, I wouldn't say no. I can do accents - I don't always have to be Scottish.

L.A. hasn't changed me that much - I've not forgotten where I'm from, you know. And I need to find a haggis, but no-one seems to sell them over here.

I still giggle when someone asks for my address and I say, 'Hollywood, Los Angeles.'

I'm not a big one for sitting by the pool doing nothing.

When I hear the bagpipes, it makes the hairs on my neck stand on end. It always makes me weep.

There's just no place like Scotland when the sun is out. I just love coming home.

As a child, I always chose a false nose and some face paint and a wig for my birthday.
