I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn't ashamed of being tall.

If I have a choice between putting my kids to bed and going to a party, I'll put my kids to bed. If I have a choice of going to a restaurant or having friends round, I'll have friends round. Every time.

If your wearing lingerie that makes you feel glamorous, you're halfway thereto turning heads.

Focusing on the way I look makes me uncomfortable. I try to focus on the way I feel - I know what makes me feel better about myself. Reading my child a story makes me feel great, doing my hair nicely doesn't.

I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.

People in the fashion industry have used the press a lot more than people in the film industry, because you have nothing to sell except for the image: The image is everything.

For 15 years, I've been playing the same character - which is myself - and I'm bored with 'myself'.
