I think smells, like sounds, can be so much immediately affecting.

I love witches and magic and dress-up and make-believe.

I was reading William Shawcross's biography of the Queen Mother, dressed in my witch outfit! And you know what? It was a really good mix; it was a therapeutic mix.

I'm often criticised for what I wear. That's my main label in the press now: disastrous dresser!

I'm always attracted to lower budget, not because it's lower budget, but because they tend to be better scripts.

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.

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.
