I do find modern jazz quite tricky.

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 don't agree with the whole 'my mother's my friend' approach, because you're their mum and there has to be a difference between the generations.

I look at myself objectively and in a way I see myself as a commodity. Your name becomes somehow outside yourself. Now, when I'm at home being Mrs. Scarfe, that's when I'm most myself.

I do enjoy fashion - a lot of runway clothes are pretty unwearable, but if moderated, the trends can be worn by just about anyone.

My parents were not theatrical at all.

I am proud of my cake-making image but life is not that perfect. There are socks in my fruit bowl.
