I lived with my mother all my life until she died, and I don't really think I knew her, because I was always using her as my mother, if you know what I mean.

I've been blessed with pretty strong stamina and healthy genes, so I'd call myself sensible. I've had regular mammograms ever since I found a lump in my breast when I was 30. Thankfully all was well.

I was not emotionally mature enough to accept any kind of success when I was young. I needed to go that long route.

I came up almost completely through the subsidised theatre. I have never been absolutely at the market interface, where I've got to sell my wares or die - I've always been protected from that.

As I have got older, I have become easier on myself. It's about realising things can't be perfect.

I'm childish and silly. Most people tease me because I'm a bit daft.
