I'd love to adopt, but having a daughter, Daisy, who's in the middle of her teens, I'm now thinking: Is this a time to start all over again or is this a time to realise those child-rearing years are over?

When I very first started out, I had that arrogance of youth.

There's still a bit of a problem, in that so many leading English roles are taken by American or French actresses.

So often people say something and you realise you haven't really heard it.

Seize the day. Well, I aspire to that anyway.

I think work really is a life saver, because it carries you forward, which is good.

You grow up by making mistakes. I've made a ton of them, but as long as I keep on failing better, I don't mind.
