Well?? What did everyone think of the interview? She came off to me as somewhat aggravated by the questions and her answers were short, the editing was incredibly choppy, I wonder if they had to do several takes because she got annoyed during the interview? She didn't come off as particularly warm and even admits to being intimidating and scary with her co workers. She seemed to "warm up" a little when they brought in Dustin Hoffman, but I was a little surprised by how non-plussed she seemed. No wonder she skips award ceremonies, she seems to have absolute zero interest in any accolades.

The only part that amused me was her saying the F word for the first time ever in Quartet. Other than that... Very disappointing.

I actually love that she's at the stage in her life when she (excuse my french) "Doesn't give 2 *beep* I am looking forward to it when I get old. You can only really get away with it as a small child or an elderly person.

I find it hilarious that she never travels or promotes...yet she has won numerous awards for one of the biggest british shows of all time (shown in hundreds of countries) Quartet and Best exotic have both been very successfull considering their low budgets too and she didn't promote them either. It's amazing! She's had a huge comeback without even trying.
