I don't like it when people leave their takeaways on the street: it makes me sad and it draws foxes and rats.

I love them all, there is not one member of Take That that I do not love.

I like Joan Jett's 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll' because it's got a nice low singing voice.

I love acting, I really do, I've always loved doing it, and it's a joy to be asked to do this. I mean, to do Beatrice, for God's sake, it is the best comedy Shakespeare role for a woman, and to be asked to do it.

I'm not a trained actor, so there was always going to be a certain amount of bringing my own... I was going to say skills but they're not really skills, it's just stuff that I know how to do I suppose.

I can't speak for every mum but once you have children, I find that I don't really get through the day without grinning about five times!

I talked to friends who are actors and who do Shakespeare loads, and they all said 'learn it so that your family wants to clobber you, they're so bored.' You can never relax, that's the problem, because when you do, a bit of Shakespeare comes up to bite your cheeky behind. It just does, if you're not really focused on it.

My daughters have become little judges. If I do produce a baked item, they tut at the soggy bottom and advise me to try harder next time.

Give more acting roles to 48-year-old half-Lithuanians who just don't want to be pigeon-holed as bakery presenters.

Funders, financiers why don't you support childcare? Make it a budget line in your productions and please please let's not be ageist.

We're so used to seeing Agatha Christie's work on screen that going back to the original is a real joy.

When you have a baby in showbiz, people think you've died.

I'm the youngest of four in a large, exhibitionist family. The only way to get attention was to throw yourself off the top of a ladder - as one of my cousins used to do - or make people laugh.

A bloke once yelled out: 'You've got chubby knees.' I was 19. I've had a real complex about my knees ever since.
