Like any working mother I find it hard to have a social life. But my kids are so well adjusted. There isn't a brat bone in their body so I haven't done anything that bad.

By the time dessert arrives I am usually so drunk, I can't remember what I'm serving.

I'm lucky not to have a nine-to-five job.

I never weigh myself, but the brutal truth of television is that they don't employ old people or fat people.

Some interviewees you make friends with and some you don't.

'The Piano' is a romantic drama that really made me want to see New Zealand. When I finally did it was every bit as jaw dropping as it looked in the film. It's so virgin and green, it's like God said 'lets try again' and he got it right this time!

My whole career has been an act of revenge.
