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

When I'm a brunette, it's four times harder to hail a taxi. Then I go blonde again, and suddenly there are taxis everywhere.

Middle-aged women on telly is a bit of a hot topic - before, we were 27 to 37, and now we're 40 to 50. You do notice as you get older... you go past 35, and suddenly you're playing baddies.

I'm a big fan of community, and I think independence is over-rated.

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

I never ever Google myself. That way madness lies.

I have three boys, so I live in a household full of testosterone.
