I know if I had the chance of going aboard the Titanic in those days, I would have gone - I know I would have. I adore going on the Queen Mary - I think it's the only way to travel from New York.

I would do nearly anything for a laugh, to tell the truth. And I'm a particular favourite with young men with earrings.

I love Monet - I've nicknamed him King Blob. When you go up to the painting, it's a series of blobs - amazing.

Single by choice, just not my choice.

I'm a bit of a fraud, really, as I didn't study acting at a drama school.

I've had to spend an awful lot of my life trying to pretend I'm not posh. Although once I open my mouth, I rather let things out the bag.

I long for the day where we don't have to talk about our age as actresses.
