I love a bit of glamour - who doesn't? - but I probably wouldn't be able to pull it off.

I am always baffled by age, but to be honest with you, I feel like I am about 34. I feel better now and I am certainly healthier than I was in my early 30s. I am more rounded too.

Actors think they're far more important than they are, and that can only lead to hurt. People with colossal self-importance have very far to fall.

After playing Saffy in 'Ab Fab', I needed to take time out from acting to see if I really wanted to do it. I had been doing it for a very long time and I was being sent the same sort of scripts again and again.

Being a mum is something that's never bothered me too much. I have never felt a strong need to have children, but I am not averse to it either.

I don't get inoculations or take anti-malaria tablets when I go abroad, I take the homeopathic alternative, called 'nosodes', and I'm the only one who never goes down with anything.

I think it's healthy to be insecure, to have nerves.
