Being a Barrymore didn't help me other than giving me a great sense of pride and a strange spiritual sense that I felt OK about having the passion to act. It made sense because my whole family had done it and it helped rationalise it for me.

A family on the throne is an interesting idea. It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.
