The truth is I quite like to dress in jeans and a woolly jumper.

I ended my Twitter account a week after I got on the show. I felt like, "This is not a good tool for me to keep my narcissism at bay," so I cut it off.

People say to me, 'Oh, being a mother must make you a better actor,' and I think, 'Well, I never sleep, I have very little time to think about anything except when I'm actually there.' I wonder whether that makes me a better actor. I think it must on some level.

Every role that you play comes with its own set of challenges.

I know as an actor there is a certain liberation auditioning for a role that has no beauty requirements.

I'm really lucky to be married to a perfect person.

Something that I believe is that you're as sick as your secrets. The more open you're able to be, the more you're able to share even the most uncomfortable aspects of yourself, the healthier you'll be.
