That's why I'm an actress - escaping into a world.

I was asked about doing a nude shoot for men's magazine GQ. I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard.

I never had any acting heroes. I never really went to the theatre.

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.

Some people have a terrible stretch between family and work. It is a difficult thing to achieve.

I went through bits of the 60s and thought myself a bit of a hippy.

I don't want to give up acting - it's what I am.
