Young people need their own private places which mothers don't belong to, even if they want mother all around the edge of 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 am a kid in the dressing-up box at heart.

Im constantly astounded by how amazing women are. And as we go through all these different stages of life as long as you share them with others and say, Well, this is bloody weird, you can get through everything.

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.

There is a latent fairy in all women, but look how carefully we have to secrete her in order to be taken seriously. And fairies come in all shapes, colours, sizes and types, they don't have to be fluffy. They can be demanding and furious if hey like. They do, however, have to wear a tiara. That much is compulsory.

Other than my memory being a bit woolly and my knees being a bit creaky, I don't really think there's anything I can't do.
