“I did very consciously choose my work over my relationships right up until the time that I met Taylor [Hackford]. I was 38 when I met Taylor, pretty late in life … We got married in the end because we realized that we were going to be together forever. We got married, ultimately, for legal reasons more than anything else … And our families, we sensed, wanted us to be married. I always said I have nothing against marriage; it just wasn’t to my taste, like turnips. I took me a very long time to come round to acquiring the taste. I just had to meet the right turnip.” —Helen Mirren in AARP: The Magazine
