I do endless chopping and preparing things. I really find that relaxing. I do a lot of thinking as I am chopping and cooking.

Acting is about being real, being honest.

I still don't believe this craziness for being skinny, but I eat sensibly and I don't stuff down chocolate biscuits.

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

I feel very strongly that curves are natural, womanly and real. I shall continue to hope that women are able to believe in themselves for who they are inside, and not feel under such incredible pressure to be unnaturally thin.

I ordinarily do one film a year and the rest of the time I'm at home with the kids. Even when I am working I'm still basically at home and with the kids. I've never left them to go to work.

I believe it is important to go on insisting that normality is not what we are exposed to. Honestly, among my acquaintances there is no woman wearing XS. No, sorry, there is one: my daughter. The point is that Mia is 11 years old. It's true that you need much time to get rid of the fat girl you once were, but you know I am sincerely grateful for my buttocks.
