I swim more or less every day.

I'm a creature of habit, so I like going to boutiques, rather than larger stores, where I know I'll find something that suits me every time.

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.

Having cakes as a business certainly changes things for me - I don't now sit at home doing a cake for the fun of it anymore. But it's an extremely happy and pleasureable business to run because people are generally buying cakes for celebrations.

I learned basic cookery from my mom, taught myself cake techniques and then got fed up with my own cakes not looking as good as the ones in the shops.

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

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.
