I find running life quite hard and I like sharing that. Obviously, the companionship, being loved and loving, is fantastic. But I don't feel that I couldn't live without a boyfriend or lover or husband.

I did become quite well known from 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', and it helped hugely. I wasn't as famous as Hugh Grant, but I certainly began to work.

I'm crazy about ducks and swans and geese, so I don't eat foie gras. I try to eat organic.

Some people in my family achieved a lot, some people inherited a lot. But I turned my back on the whole thing.

I was one of those lucky people with only one talent. It is harder for people with many talents to decide what to do.

In the theatre, if you say 'Macbeth', all the actors will start looking very anxious. I'm so well-trained not to say it in the theatre that I can hardly say it in normal life.

I can cook to please people, but it's quite conventional. I make a good sponge cake. I find it hard to follow recipes.
