There's a scary moment when you realise you're no longer the youngest person in the room. Especially if you've been a successful young person. That's followed, of course, by the realisation that you're actually the oldest person in the room.

I prefer the finesse of French humour. English humour is more scathing, more cruel, as illustrated by Monty Python and Little Britain.

As an actor, those are the roles that you long for. You always want something that's going to kick your last role out of the water and put you off on a new path.

You can't control how other people see you or think of you. But you have to be comfortable with that.

I have no maternal instinct whatsoever. Motherhood holds no interest for me.

I learned quite early on in life that we are all two people. And one of those people none of us will ever know.
