I have such admiration for single mothers. I simply don't comprehend how you'd cope with that intensity, the lack of breaks, ever, on your own.

There are lots of people who believe that caricature of me the tabloids created, so they think they don't like me.

There's still this underlying image of women that they should fulfil a certain role. It's no accident that a lot of men who are a bit misogynistic tend to say things like 'get back to the kitchen' or 'why aren't you at home looking after the kids'.

My ex-boyfriend can round last night, which was weird because I didn't know he was in a coma.

Men are fantastic - as a concept.

I don't hold any candle for drama versus comedy.

I've always liked to think I could do anything I wished as well as - if not better than - a man. But I wasn't very good at rally driving.
