I've never for a second felt like my job has been more of a struggle because I'm a woman.

It kind of depresses me when people decide to move away. I get it, you want your kids to have somewhere to roam free or to recreate whatever your sort of childhood ideal was, but my kids are grand. I love LA because lifestyle wise, it's near the beach and mountains and it is great for kids but then it's a city built on an industry that, at the end of the day, is kind of facile.

Spending way too long worrying about what people think about me is a bad habit.

Comedians... they're different from actors. There's more ego there. They create the whole thing, I guess, so they're more precious.

I love Sutton House in Clapton, a beautiful example of Tudor architecture.

You've only got a short shelf-life as an actor, and I want to make the most of it while I can.

I'm a massive scaredy cat. I'm scared of being in a fast car, I'm scared of being on a rollercoaster, I would never go skiing, I would never do anything that had the possibility of endangering my life in any way. I should get some therapy, really.
