I'm the kind of person who'll have a few drinks and fall asleep at 11.

My childhood was colorfully anarchic and punctuated by a lot of change.

If the kids did want to get into showbiz then so be it, but I would never project anything on to my children.

I was the eldest daughter with these four beautiful younger sisters with ringlets and pretty faces, and I used to dress them up in Victorian clothes and take them out for the day and pretend they were mine.

When I had my first boy it all started and that male energy seemed to keep me awake but since my daughter, who's incredibly serene, I can't seem to stop sleeping because she's asleep all the time. It's a pattern.

My father was a painter and an anarchist, always getting in trouble for his performance art.

I really enjoy making dinner for my kids and my husband - chopping ginger and marinating the tofu.
