Catherine on admiring Katherine Hepburn:
"When I was younger, I thought that the core of self-reliance that runs through everything she does was something to aspire to not only in acting but also in my life but now I am also affected by performances that are a little more on edge and vulnerable/fragile."
Catherine on being recognised:
"If I have to act in a mirror, I find it really, really disturbing, because it really is you. As an actor I don't think I look anything like I look. I always get surprised when people recognise me because I think I'm totally camouflaged."
McClements on being stalked by a woman for two years who broke into her house and smashed her car before the case ended in 1999:
"It went on for a long time. She wasn't well, and she started to get more aggressive and violent. She didn't know me; she hadn't met me but she loaded a whole load of stuff on that [Water Rats] character."
Actor Samuel Johnson on working with Catherine on "The Secret Life Of Us":
"Claudia [Karvan] and Catherine were never under-prepared. They were always focused, yet never rigid in any way because of that. They just seem so much more seasoned. As a fairly junior and sometimes complacent actor, I find I fell kinda out of my depth sometimes with actors like Claudia and Catherine."
