I had a lovely, feral, free childhood - out and then come back when you're hungry or it gets too dark. I feel slightly cruel that I'm not offering my children the same.

If the script's good, everything you need is in there. I just try and feel it, and do it honestly.

Everything with me is pretty close to the surface, but having kids has completely ruined my emotional equilibrium.

I'm not a pin-up, thankfully. I'm not suggesting I feel unconfident. I am beautiful to my husband. I am beautiful to my friends. I feel sexy and all those things with the people I love.

I love my job and I know I am very lucky but still, if you audition and you don't get it, it still affects you.

I am a bit sickie happy. I am prone to black clouds too, but... I am embarrassed about them. It's like: 'My diamond shoes are too tight. My money clip doesn't fit all my fifties.' I mean - really. Shut up.

I don't like the bullying, do-one-over style of comedy. It's so cheap.
