My mum's from Yorkshire and my parents aren't snotty or posh - they're very hard workers, both of them.

I dont have the self-discipline for diets; I break rules I set for myself, so I try and eat more healthily, juice more, and avoid sugar.

The children break all my jewelry, so everything I wear is cheap - from Topshop or Dorothy Perkins.

One year you go in for auditions, and everybody thinks you're the queen of comedy, and the next year, you're so 'yesterday,' and it's not because you've done anything, or your ability has changed; you haven't been in work because you've been putting on weight and then trying to lose it.

Red carpets and dressing up are a part of work that I enjoy less than some people.

I'm very devoted to my kids - I'm completely blind to their faults.

I can make a virtue of slapdash. Slapdash can give you courage.
