Roses are my favourite flower, and my mum always grew a lot of them.

I'm a lazy creature when I'm not acting.

I always say a tremendous amount of healing is in your own hands.

I cry in movies a lot, and over books.

I like solitary pursuits, such as reading or pottering about in the garden.

My sons are precious to me and I have tried incredibly hard to strike the right balance between work and home life while being acutely aware that I haven't always got it right.

My best feature is my hair.
