She'd believed being an actress was about talent and practice until then; but she found out it's all about having "great tits and good teeth". She doesn't regret playing Miranda but was surprised at the character's massive appeal and her having become such an iconic figure. She also had a problem with stalkers, one of whom was apparently an erotomaniac (believed he had a genuine spiritual communion with her). This man gave her so much trouble she left Australia for a time, and it affected her stage acting career.
