As a child, my whole life was books. They were my fantasy. That's where I could go. That was a lot of times [what] saved me.

You've just got to have a sense of respect for the person you have children with. Anger doesn't help anybody. Ultimately you have to say forgiveness is important, and honoring what you had together is important. But it's easy to say and harder to do.

My life collapsed. People ran from me because suddenly it was, "Oh my God! It's over for her now!"

Now I can wear high heels again.

Forget the past. You can never predict what the future is going to be. Live for the moment.

I love that ["Big Little Lies"] is about women coming together and making something happen very quickly, with friendship being the core of it.

I think at some stage, I would love to have another child. I would love to settle into a relationship that was really important to me. I actually am not good at the balance at that.
