I've Never Been Onstage In My Life.

Being A Mother Gives You An Incredible Feeling Of Empowerment, You Think If I Can Go Through Such Pain And That Level Of Sleep And Still Operate And Not Be Grumpy You Can Do Anything. It Can Be Quite Scary, You Can't Function Your Brain, Forget Your Vocabulary.

And The Most Important Thing - Apart From Telling A Good, Believable Story, And Being A True Character - Is To Be Someone The Audience Will Care About, Even If You're Playing A Murderer Or Rapist.

I Look At Being An Actress As Being Like A Mummy: You're Bandaged Up And Preserved As Soon As You Start Making Other People Money.

I've Always Chosen Incredibly Different Roles And Things That Are Quite Offbeat. That Way You're Not Limited.

I'm In A Really Good Place. I Used To Be A Right Worrier, But Being In A Settled Relationship Has Made A Massive Difference. I Was On My Own For Three Years Before Meeting David. I'm Very Happy With Him, He's A Fantastic Man. But You Never Know What's Around The Corner, So You Just Hope For The Best.
