As a woman, especially when you have children, one gets so good at soldiering on - almost too good.

I never had crushes on anybody when I was younger; I really didn't.

Youre supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for Gods sake!

I have wrinkles here, which are very evident. And I will particularly say when I look at movie posters, 'You guys have airbrushed my forehead. Please can you change it back?' I'd rather be the woman they're saying 'She's looking older' about than 'She's looking stoned.'

I just look better in simple black things.

By nature, I'm a very positive person, and because I'm happy in myself, and in my life, and I've got a great husband, and beautiful children, and I have a job that I love that calls for a certain amount of emotional expression, I get to realise a lot of my dreams and aspirations.

There are moments to indulge and enjoy, but I always know when it's time to go home and wash my knickers.
