I want more children but for the next three years I want to act.

There were reports of me using fat-sucking machines and all sorts of silliness. All I did was walk a lot and breast-feed. I've never been on a strict diet. I just don't overeat, and I don't eat if I'm not hungry.

I look at being an actress as being like a mummy: You're bandaged up and preserved as soon as you start making other people money.

I've never been onstage in my life.

I've always chosen incredibly different roles and things that are quite offbeat. That way you're not limited.

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.

These women need to feel that we're all aware of what they may be going through, to give them the confidence to speak out.
