I like to put perfume on my pulse points, but I also love the way you can sense it - there is an atmosphere that comes from releasing a scent in to the world - it's a primal thing. I spray around me, not just on me, and it lingers in the room after I leave.

I've reprised roles in the theatre, which is somehow more accepted, and where one can automatically go deeper and further into the role.

Oh god, I wish. I really wish. If I'm time-poor, which I usually am, that's the first thing to go. And I know it shouldn't be, I know I should be really regular, but I like to get it done as quickly as possible.

I was but three when he passed by, but I shall be grateful until the day I die.

You learn an enormous lot through failure.

To those who voted for me, thank you. And to those who didn't, better luck next year!

My kids don't watch any TV, but they watch videos and films. I'm sure they watch it at friends' houses.
