This actress has never been one to slow down. As Mirren herself once put it, “Patting yourself on the back is not very productive. I’m proud of certain projects — they’re all my babies in one way or another — but I don’t dwell on my past achievements. I dwell on future achievements. I made some bold and quite brave moves at various times in my life. But I don’t regret any of it. I always try to make the tapestry of my work as broad as possible. To me, the most successful way to conduct my professional life is to constantly search out new and different things to do.”
