As a child, I wanted to marry a farmer, but no doubt the reality would have been very different to the idyll in my head.

My mum taught me that redheads shouldn't wear pink, red or orange, but if you choose the right shade, such as a bright orange or a cherry red, it can look fabulous.

I know some actresses who used to be older than me who are now younger than me - I don't know how they do it.

I swim more or less every day.

People ask what the secret of a happy marriage is. If there is one, it's 'don't talk about it.

An actor's job is about putting across the author's intention; I don't think of myself on the same level as a creator.

I've never particularly liked the idea of looking back; I'd rather look forward
