I adore all Agatha Christie's books and turn to them whenever I'm ill or need cheering up.

I'm an impulse buyer. I don't really go out with a list.

It's a GIRL. It's a little girl, with scrunched-up petal lips and a tuft of dark hair and hands in tiny fits, up by her ears. All that time, that's who was in there. And it's weird, but the minute I saw her I just thought: IT'S YOU. Of course it is.

Shopping is actually very similar to farming a field. You can't keep buying the same thing, you have to have a bit of variety. Otherwise you get bored and stop enjoying yourself.

If you can't be honest with your friends and colleagues and loved ones, then what is life all about?

I love all my characters. I love their weaknesses and flaws. I feel like they're all my best friends and I adore being with them.

If you look good, you feel good!
