I Really Fought To Make My Character

My Father Was A Painter And An Anarchist, Always Getting In Trouble For His Performance Art.

My Parents Are From Manchester But I Was Brought Up In London, Camden Town.

I Never Thought I'd Spend All My Life With Gary. I Suppose I Was Quite Cynical About Marriage. But With Jude, I Knew Right From The Beginning: There Was An Electricity I'd Never Felt Before. It Was So Easy, We Talked For Hours. It Was A Relief, Really.

My Style Is Scruffy With A Touch Of Androgyny.

I've Concentrated For A Long Time On English Films Because I've Got Two Kids But My Oldest Son Is 11 And I Think I'm Going To Be Away For About Four Months Of Year Now.
