Gordon Ramsay makes me laugh because he knows that I'm not a chef.

There is a kind of euphoria of grief, a degree of madness.

People who have fabulous childhoods have this sense that nothing is ever going to be that good again. With me, I have the sense that nothing is going to be that bad.

I took a fortnight off. But I'm not a great believer in breaks. I don't want to be rattling around inside my own head. I did feel I was spiralling into a Kathy Burke character and tried going out, but I prefer it here. Filming keeps me busy. It absorbs me.

(In cooking), there is always room for careful tinkering.
