United Kingdom, Aug. 12 -- Miriam Margolyes doesn't worry about being cancelled.

The 84-year-old actress has faced a backlash for her criticism of the Israeli government's actions in Gaza but she believes she has a responsibility to speak out and try to instigate change, and she doesn't worry about the consequences for her career.

She told The Guardian newspaper: "People say: 'You're just an actor, for f***'s sake, shut up.' Well, that is a point of view. I don't happen to share that.

"I think that if you have a chance to make an impact for good, to change things, then you should. I think it's an absolute requirement, and people don't, out of fear sometimes. They are afraid of being cancelled. You can't cancel me!"
