I remember when I got to 16, my mum was like, 'No, now you've got to go and get a proper job. We've indulged you long enough.' I don't think they ever thought I was going to be successful in entertainment at all.

It makes my skin crawl to think about the violent ways snakes, lizards, alligators and other exotic creatures are raised and killed for boots, bags and belts.

I feel a lot more comfortable on stage in the theatre. It just reminds me of being a kid and doing pantomimes.

I have the thickest skin of anyone you'll ever meet. No one can say anything about me I haven't heard a million times before.

People think you can't be clever if you have breasts.

I've always paid my own way, I've never lived off anyone.

I don't want to make the same mistakes of being swept along with things, taking on jobs that I'm not passionate about, that I don't really believe in but that everyone says I should do.
