I'm 40 next year and I'm very well aware that where I am now, it becomes a bit of a wilderness for actresses.

I have a playlist of farts on my phone.

I've got quite a big gay following. I played a lesbian prostitute in the TV series 'Band Of Gold' but I think my following really grew when I played one in the film 'Imagine Me & You,' with Piper Perabo.

There is something in the act of having tattoos done that I love. It can be quite addictive. I've got a few on my back because my friend is an artist, and a few on my arms. Every time I pass a tattoo parlour, I think, 'Maybe just a tiny one.

I dont want to be owned by anyone.

It's always weird the thought of taking your clothes off in front of 20 people and then to have it projected in front of many more.

Since being quite young, I've had a very strong sense of independence and survival. As a child, I was on my own two feet emotionally.
