Of all the things I do, acting is the thing that grabs most, but there's another level on which it strikes me as being a little silly. In the end you're dressing up and deciding to be somebody.

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

I think one wants lots of different lives.

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.

I was always very determined, as was my husband, that we wouldn't let any of our children act when they were young.

We get a lot of overseas people wanting to order cakes.

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.
