Yeah, yeah, yeah.
About 10, 12 years ago.
Yeah.
And before that, I mean, I've done everything.
I've done all the Pinters with him.
We did The Seagull.
Yeah.
In 2014, you were made a dame by Queen Elizabeth, who you were playing on stage at the time in The Audience, which was the play by Peter Morgan.
Did the damehood reconnect you, do you think, with a sense of Britishness?
Do you still feel that sort of bi-nationality?
I still feel that very, very strongly, yeah.
I spent most of my life in France.
If I live a bit longer, it'll be half-half, but most of my life I've spent in France.
Do you think in French?
When I'm speaking in French, it does take a little bit of adjustment to kind of plunge yourself into the world of the language and attitudes and everything is a bit subtly different.
That's why it's really great to bring up your children bilingually.
It's hard work because you have to concentrate.
And if you've got anyone else involved in the child rearing, you've got to repeat everything.
So it's hard work, but it's really worth it.
And what drives you on creatively?
