I don't believe in low-fat cooking.

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.

There is a vast difference between how things seem from the outside and how they feel on the inside.

I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy.

Emotion is messy, contradictory... and true.

In fact I am quite snappy and irritable, and I don't know if I'd like to make myself worse in that respect.

I never taste the wine first in restaurants, I just ask the waiter to pour.
