I like acting in London-not least because it means I can go home after the show every day, rather than being on location making a film.

I like working on stage because there's something very immediate about it, that interaction with an audience where you immediately hear their reaction, or feel them, whether they're with you.

I don't always want a big meal after work - just some crisps and wine!

What am I doing in this silly showbiz life? I do wonder that sometimes.

I'll always take Scrabble and chess if I'm going filming. But I do have the Scrabble dictionary, which can be infuriating for other players.

For a woman to say she has had a dalliance with another woman is quite trendy these days. I do not like trendiness. Life isn't about dalliances - it's about individuals. You come across people in your life that you find very interesting. It's not about something flighty.

I'm not very good with stills. I get all twitchy.
