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.

Getting a new passport took me a stupid amount of time. I had to go back five times with different photographs because they kept saying I was smiling, which is against the rules. I was not smiling.

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

If you get 10,000 guys to put their ideal woman into a computer, it still comes out looking like Angelina Jolie.

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.

I have a lot of funny friends, though not everyone's funny all the time. Doon Mackichan's my funniest friend in the pub; Nina Conti's the funniest with a monkey.
