I would love to have been around in the Keystone Studios days.

I don't leave London, really, and I don't do theatre, because I want to put the kids to bed.

I've got spider veins all over my legs, so I wear opaque tights all winter. All sorts of colours.

I'm feeling incredibly Botox-tempted as my face collapses around my shoulders.

What having a Down's syndrome child isn't - and I feel very strongly about this - is a tragedy. All those pregnancy books you read when you are expecting refer to Down's syndrome as if it were the worst possible outcome, and it's not.

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

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