To not want children or not be considerate of them is a very unwomanly thing to be, from a certain point of view.

We'll always have art, darling.

I really love clothes, but I think I have a style of my own which is quite eclectic.

I love complex characters - strong females who are vulnerable but have a life and soul. That's what I'm drawn to and what I enjoy most.

In Britain, we haven't got enough money to make these long-running shows. We always do little mini ones. You have more control as an actor over what you want to do with it. On these you drive yourself mad trying to know what's going to happen, because the writers don't.

There's such a huge link with fashion, with front covers of magazines and selling products, but that's not what you go into the job for, and yet you're persuaded that's what you have to do to create the opportunities for yourself.

I'm drawn to damaged, complicated characters.
