I know what it's like to struggle for cash. When I went to drama school, I worked as a chambermaid to make ends meet.

That's the awful thing about dating. Tight underwear. We would all like to be in a big bra and pants and when you are in a secure relationship you can do that.

I don't know what the future holds, but I have to be confident about it. It's just the way I am.

I don't read novels whilst I'm writing one; I just haven't got a wide enough brain to concentrate on incoming and outgoing in the same time zone.

I am a kid in the dressing-up box at heart.

My approach to parenting is that everything is open - everything. I'm not very good at covert, or subtle, and I've had to learn timing. I do blunder in a bit.

It was my father who taught me to value myself.
