I go on giving interviews because I've been brought up to support the projects I'm involved in. When you've enjoyed working on a production, you want to do them a favour.

I don't want three million people digesting my private life over their cornflakes.

I don't regret the passing of time. I try to live in the present, which should mean my life's full.

I do find acting cathartic.

I have yet to see a drama that puts forward women who are successful and have a family. Women are nearly always seen as victims.

I was always going to be a dancer - I drifted into acting.

After all my various relationships I find myself now home alone.
