I was a bit of a humour black sheep. I would make these jokes full of irony and dark cynicism and that just didn't work when I was seven, people did not laugh.
There are such wonderful blessings in my life - I have this amazing baby, an amazing family, and I loved X Factor - all these moments of joy, and then these sharp drop-offs. I'd be awake, lying in bed, crying. There's these weird moments of misplaced anger I have.
I love British television. I love the irony, I love the authenticity and I love the roles I get put up for.
Rob loves my mum, I think the most in the whole world. They are two peas in a pod and I'm the one on the outside. It makes me even more in love with my husband and with my mum, because she can be bonkers and unconventional and it can be embraced.
I have to audition for everything; there is no Mrs. Robbie Williams free pass, and because I'm working with British actors everyone is so polite - no one mentions Robbie.
I've never really minded being Mrs. Robbie Williams because my ego is relatively small, but it is really nice now that people know there is something else there besides that.
I had this career and then I was working and then I met Rob and then I kind of went off and got married and had kids, and in that process, which was amazing and fantastic, I lost my confidence as an actress and as a working woman.
Simon Cowell is trying to get everyone to clone their dogs, and we've had our dogs 'done' so they can't have puppies any more. Cloning is like modern day reproducing - reproducing the bits you want.
Rob is incredibly supportive. When I work he takes care of the kids and vice versa.
