Debate is so much better than denial.

Stage is the most exciting. Film is lovely, because it's like a family.

I'm more selective now I've got a family. I don't want to work all the time. My daughter's 12; I don't want to miss out on her life. Soon she'll be a teenager; she won't want me around.

I've never done so much bloody crying in my life. I was always moaning about how hard it was when we were shooting, how awful I felt.

My grandmother lived with us for a short time while I was a child. Old people tend to be slightly more eccentric - they can behave the way they want.

I wanted above all else not to be like my mum.

I can talk myself so much into my part.
