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

I start the day with the intention of doing 4,000 sit-ups but then have to work.

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

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.

I once had a friend who did the hair for sci-fi movies, and after a particularly bad break-up I stupidly went to her salon and told her she could do anything she liked. She dyed the bottom cherry red and the top peroxide blonde.
