"For me, one of the best things about getting older is finally being relieved of the whole

tag. There is good and bad in ageing. Each age you become reveals a new person you've become. I loved being young but I've enjoyed every stage in different ways," Mirren said.

"I'm not a Goddess type. Never have been. I absolutely love the goddesses. French actresses and Italian actresses always want to be goddesses. But I'm very real. In Britain we produce beautiful women. Kate Moss is beautiful but not just because of her looks; her character and personality are why she's still an icon. There's a realness about her that I love.
