I have to be careful what I eat before going onstage, to avoid an upset stomach.

One of my earliest memories is of being about three and a half, climbing through the legs of a man who I didn't know was the famous actor, Patrick Magee.

I'm very shocked when I look at television and I see such an aggressive youth and image obsession in the representation of women on our screens.

I've always had this sneaking suspicion that I get a kick out of the insecurity.

Not a lot of people know this, but I'm very good at mathematics. When I was an angry teenager, I used to sit in my room and do quadratic equations to calm myself down.

Sometimes I'll work through the crossword sections of three separate papers.

It's one of the oldest theatrical adages: never work with children or animals.
