I don't know what makes a marriage work. My husband and I don't have it right at all; it's very tough on him. From the outside it looks like it's all about me - I have a glorious career and he doesn't.

In my early career I was like a goldfish. Rejection didn't affect me; I'd just forget how bad it was and keep going back for more.

I was a normal, rather dutiful child. I didn't even rebel as a teenager.

I've always been creative, I think.

I grew up without a television. It meant that I read lots of books and entertained myself.

When the time came to make a decision about what do in life, I found myself thinking that acting was the thing I loved to do, so I applied to drama school. And then, I didn't get in - twice.

I don't think I will be less good because there's less pressure on me.
