In Hollywood I got work but not the right work until Pushing Daisies. Every girl in LA wanted the part of Chuck. I was terrified - I didn't know if I could be funny.

But Americans find me bizarre and always ask me why I eat so many carbs. I tell them I don't get full otherwise.

I've never been onstage in my life.

Onstage, there's no hiding; you either can or can't act. There's no second take.

Being a mother gives you an incredible feeling of empowerment, you think if I can go through such pain and that level of sleep and still operate and not be grumpy you can do anything. It can be quite scary, you can't function your brain, forget your vocabulary.

It's so important to raise awareness of this problem that continues to affect 1 in 4 women at some point in their lifetime, regardless of career, wealth or background.

I've got the best lead man, I really love my lead man.
