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 just love doing costume dramas; I am very lucky, as I see myself as a part-time time traveller.

Ever since I can remember feeling love for my parents, I've been frightened of losing them.

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.

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

I do believe in an afterlife. I try to be at one with people and try to love life as much as I can.

It distresses me when I take my seven-year-old nephew out. I cook healthy food, and he wants to go to McDonald's. He doesn't even like the food; he just wants the toys, the Happy Meals. I can't stand to see people walking down the street eating fast food.
