The thrill of being in front of a camera remains exactly the same.

I have been called a nun with a switchblade where my privacy is concerned. I think there's a point where one says, that's for family, that's for me.

I Google'd myself a lot of times believe me. A lot of people know more about me than I knew.

I do think, where would kids be if it weren't for you and for the good pediatricians, and for the good parents? I passionately believe in sitting a child on your lap and tracing the lines of the book with your finger, and they can read before they know they can, if you bother enough. I did it with my kids, and they're doing it with their kids now.

I'd like to be an original, to be myself and not a pale copy of anyone else.

I am very proud to be British. I'm very conscious of carrying my country with me wherever I go. I feel I need to represent it well.

When in doubt, stand still.
