My kids inspire me to be the person I am today - without them I wouldn't be who I am today.

I've concentrated for a long time on English films because I've got two kids but my oldest son is 11 and I think I'm going to be away for about four months of year now.

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.

I never thought I'd spend all my life with Gary. I suppose I was quite cynical about marriage. But with Jude, I knew right from the beginning: there was an electricity I'd never felt before. It was so easy, we talked for hours. It was a relief, really.

I've had four children and I've done a good job and I'm happy in life.

I've never worn fur, either. I'm a naturally squeamish person, and fur smells like dead animal to me.

When you love someone so much that you are in pain when you are apart it ends up being destructive. I never want to be in that place again.
