The parenting bit is much harder than the acting bit. You just never know what to do.

If you're a queen, you're powerless, so I'd probably demote myself and go shopping.

I'm not dead and I don't have blue hair but some people say there are similarities. It is usually intolerable to watch myself onscreen but this time it's fine. I think it's beautiful and a real work of art.

I enjoy those small chats you have when people come up and talk to you about your work. It only involves a few seconds of effort to be nice to those people, and I am very grateful for the kind words that people have taken the trouble to express to me in person.

Imperfection is underrated. Perfection is overrated.

I hate this image of me as a prim Edwardian. I want to shock everyone.

Everyone seems to think I'm very ladylike. That I'm very cultured and intelligent. I drink alot of Diet Coke and belch. I've been known to use the F-word. I've told a few dirty jokes. I arm-wrestle.
