Tell him I mind having to look pretty, that's what I mind, because it is so much more of an effort.

My appearance has changed a lot over the years, but it has far more to do with how I feel about being a woman.

Film is so much to do with perfection and how differently you can feel about someone at the beginning of the film and the end of the film.

I hate the way market forces try to separate us out in to the appropriate demographic - basically in order to sell us things. We need to find stories that we can enjoy together, not separately.

The only way you can have it all is by delegating all the running of the home to other people - which I don't ever want to do... So you do it yourself, and it takes time and energy and effort. And if you give it the time, it's profoundly enjoyable.

What was important was trying to create something that families could watch together and enjoy together

We've got people looking at our seamy side and our sad side a lot of the time because that's easier. It's much more difficult to make a film about happiness with lots of jokes in it.
