I never ever Google myself. That way madness lies.

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

My first film crush was Mark Lester as Oliver Twist in the Carol Reed film.

Its quite confusing being one of the less wealthy people at a posh place.

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

The siblings of special needs children are quite special. Absolutely accepting and totally loving, from birth, someone who is different mentally, and has a different way of seeing the world, is a wonderful trait. It's a trait I wish there was another way of getting, but there isn't. And it does involve a degree of not having it fantastically easy.

One year you go in for auditions, and everybody thinks you're the queen of comedy, and the next year, you're so 'yesterday,' and it's not because you've done anything, or your ability has changed; you haven't been in work because you've been putting on weight and then trying to lose it.
