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

When you're given something new, it's always exciting 'cause you're the first one to do it. You're not having to live up to any expectations, or be compared to anyone who's ever done it before.

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.

I've been onstage once for one performance with four days' rehearsal.

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 was just disciplined. I knew I had to get back into shape after six weeks for the film Goal II, but I cheated in the end - I wore a corset. I loved my pregnancy, I blossomed. I felt goddess-like and very secure. I found it comforting to have a little thing growing inside me, and very calming.

My whole family is quite petite, so I have good genes on my side. But I find it quite tiresome that we have to keep talking about sizes and how much weight we can lose.
