I can't move back to England. My home is in France now. I'd love to but I can't. My family's all there now.

Having a leading man who is actually prettier than you are is quite upsetting.

I do not want to pour out my heart to the world. I am cautious of what I say and to whom.

I know I can be bolshy and really unpleasant, and it always happens if I lose confidence in the people I'm working with. If I've got no confidence in what I'm doing and they don't provide me with some assurance that we're doing the right thing then I bully people. I'm a horrible bully.

Men don't fall in love with me - only young ones.

As a younger actor you want to be approved of, you want to gain respect, be admired. All of those things. To say: 'This is me playing this character. And aren't I fantastic!' I don't feel that so much now.

I used to be so intensely preoccupied by unhappiness... now there are times where you might get down, but you can move on much faster now.
