I think if there's some kind of crisis in news journalism... a crisis of credibility, then it's been created by journalists. I'm empathetic, I understand it and I see it, but I'm not sympathetic about it. If you want people to think of journalism with higher regard then do better work.

My days, if they start in the morning with a cuddle from my son, are just so much more glorious than they were prior to that.

The secret to riches is the same as the secret to comedy - timing.

I'm sick to death of famous people standing up and using their celebrity to promote a cause. If I see a particular need, I do try to help. But there's a lot that can be achieved by putting a cheque in the right place and shutting up about it.

If there's anything about someone's life that's important enough to make a movie about it, I have to take responsibility to get all of it right. It's a huge responsibility.

There's nothing like sitting back and talking to your cows.

I'd like to play passionate women, but no one will let me.
