I truly would love to be a designer-label girl, but I am very much High Street.

I don't get star-struck at all.

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

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.

A Local Government Stationery Store is something to behold. It's like walking through the back of a cupboard into a really dull Narnia.

A lot of things in 'Parents' I find very truthful.
