I do try and curb my mouth, but I find it really hard. I wonder how many jobs I've talked myself out of!

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

I love buying things. I could be one of those crazy hoarders.

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

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 was never, ever the ingenue. The young, innocent lead was just not me.
