Yes, I was slightly outside everything when I was growing up. My mother jokes that I was exchanged at birth. She brought us up to have traditional values. She was absolutely not part of the '60s generation.

I did 'Tumbleweeds' for fun. I did it because I loved it and I hardly even got paid.

I have become a marketing tool and I feel very uncomfortable with that. There's no space for me to express myself.

When children arrive, or when some crisis occurs, couples don't have the resources to deal with it because they've been so busy getting on with their lives. They haven't learned how to sit down and discuss things.

I've always thought if you watch the performance and you don't know about the person, then you only see the performance.

I just want people to focus on the performance.

I do mostly British projects, and for family reasons and life reasons Britain's my home, where I have a lovely garden.
