My Mum Was Never Strict. I Was

I've Always Paid My Own Way, I've Never Lived Off Anyone.

I Regard Myself As An Actress But, Obviously, Not In The Dame Judi Dench League. That Isn't A Problem Because I Don't Think We Are Ever Likely To Be Up For The Same Part!

I've Loved Acting And Dancing Since I Was A Kid. Before Anyone Thought I Was Pretty Or Before I Had A Voluptuous Figure, That Was What I Was Going To Do.

I Don't Want To Make The Same Mistakes Of Being Swept Along With Things, Taking On Jobs That I'm Not Passionate About, That I Don't Really Believe In But That Everyone Says I Should Do.

I've Never Had One Of Those Amazing Yoga Bodies. My Body Is What It Is. I Am Sure If I Went On A Crash Diet, Lost Two Stone And Toned Up I Could Make Loads Of Money By Making Fitness Videos And Selling My Story To The Tabloids. But I Don't Want To Encourage Women To Be Anything Other Than What They Are. That's Very Important To Me.
