The show I did in England catered to a broad range of people. I like that. I don't want nouveau cult status, though I know we've got that sort of audience in the states.

Personally, I think any more than two or three kids is not a family, it's a litter.

I love documentaries, I like observing real people.

My mum would like to see me on the cover of 'Good Housekeeping' demonstrating children's toys with some nice lipstick on.

I used to dress up and impersonate our next-door neighbor, Miss Cox. She wore rubber boots, a wool hat, and her nose always dripped.

I don't get very involved in the L.A. scene. When you do get invited out, you are expected to be on all the time. It's just wearying.

Why does everyone think the future is space helmets, silver foil, and talking like computers, like a bad episode of Star Trek?
