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.

It's amazing the things that you cry at. I cry when I smell my son's hair in the morning. We have a moment of peace and I'll be like, 'Ahhhh! How can you love this much?'

I worked in Tesco's staff canteen because I fancied a boy on the tills. I served him his lunch in a hairnet and tan tights. Not just that, of course - I had a lovely white onesie.

I love being physical, but I am extreme either way. I can be superfit. And then I can be really lazy and ignore everything.

I carry about eight lip balms: Burts Bees, Rosebud Salve, Eos.

Having the tattoo itself is not really for the end result for me. I like having them done.

As a child, I was on my own two feet emotionally.
