Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it.

As an actor timing is important, especially as a mother with small children, so a lot is chance.

If I fall over and make mistakes, I'll pick myself back up and hope for the best and try to conduct myself with as much authenticity and moral code.

I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.'

I have a little bit of a belly, a tiny bit of pooch. It's the one thing I don't want to lose. I just like having some softness. If I lose that, then Tom might leave me.

Salary stories are intrusive. Do you ask your neighbour what they earn for their job?

To appreciate the success you have to have had the failures. You have to accept that it is a journey and its not just tomorrow or the next day or next year.
