Cruelty to children is the thing I can least bear in the world.

In the garden of our house, when I was three. My brothers and I had a jumping wall. I remember it as enormously high, but it was probably only about a foot and a half.

I have a wardrobe full of expensive clothes, but wear the same two T-shirts. I've never found a look.

I do understand that onstage there are times when you think, 'I could not be more alive than I am at this moment. I can't do most things in life. This is what I'm for.'

If I could have any artist's work on my sitting room wall it would probably be by Van Gogh or Picasso.

I often don't feel like the person I look like.

I'm hardly Hollywood material - they're interested in youth and perfection and I lay no claims to either. It's not a place that's particularly interested in talent.
