At some stages of your life you will deal with things and at others you are overwhelmed with misery and anxiety.

I don't believe in low-fat cooking.

Statistically, people who have been happily married and then widowed tend to remarry.

I was shy as a child. Now I'm not really shy any more, unless I'm with shy people. I find it contagious and I don't know what to say. But I don't think shyness is something one should feel apologetic about.

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.

I am not sure about facelifts because I wouldn't want to be someone who just looks like she's had a facelift.

I do think awful things may happen at any moment, so while they are not happening, you may as well be pleased.
