TV is so different from the movies. It takes a lot of stamina because you work such long hours. It is really challenging. You are learning the next day's lines while you are shooting today's scenes. I found courage I never realised I had. I hope to do more.

Any man in Hollywood will meet me if I want that. No, make that any man anywhere.

When I was young, all I wanted to be was a movie star. At a certain point, I started to grow up and really care about what I did.

There's a value to getting the meal on the table every night, and there's a value to being an old-school kind of parent.

It was not always easy because I was always an individual and found it difficult to be one of a group.

You think, I love more everyday. I love more everyday, more everyday, I couldn't possibly love any more, I'm going to blow up. And then you blow up. Your chest actually starts to hurt. You love so much you think I can't love any more. And then you love so much more than you ever dreamed possible.

To be happy, to make other people happy, to get into movie production more and probably to give some other people the chances that I had, to carry on enjoying being a mum and never to stop having flowers bought for me. I've still got a long way to go.
