The only time I ever spend alone is when I am working or when my husband is away filming. I put the kids to bed and have an hour and a half in the evening for myself.
I listen to Radio 4 all the time. I didn't go to university, so that's my further education.
My own parents were very un-neurotic, so I never thought that I had to change enormously in order to become a parent.
I think change is good because it teaches you that it's nothing to be frightened of.
What really matters to me is what my peers think.
I love theatre because it's just me and the audience. It's the litmus test in acting, to be able to sustain a performance over one, two or three hours.
A script is only as good as the director who's making it.
People are not considerate of others. They tend not to consider themselves as all living together, but see themselves only as individuals.
If I were in politics, I'd make both left and right sit down and make good decisions about national health. It's a huge problem, and it is something we all should be part of.
I really love my food. My favourite thing is artichokes. I am not so much interested in desserts or chocolate, though. I also like to cook with my husband Damian.
I spent my teenage years in Paris when my dad was stationed there, and I'd look at women in their forties and think, 'That's the age I want to be.'
