I'm not a natural reader but there are books I'll read and read again.

I am an opera virgin; I'd far prefer to see a musical such as 'Guys and Dolls.

I took my children to see 'Son of Rambow,' about two boys who make a home movie with a video camera. When you have children, culturally you become involved in their life.

Awards are always a pleasant surprise. They are the candy-floss parts of our job - a lovely added extra to attract people's attention. The bottom line is that you want to sell tickets.

People say there's a book in everyone but I'm not sure there is. There might be a pamphlet in me.

Martin Sheen is my pinup! And Allison Janney, oh my God. They're brilliant actors.

I must confess that I'm not a great reader. At the moment I'm reading my son's 'Stig of the Dump' by Clive King and I've got a plant catalogue on the go.
