When you love someone so much that you are in pain when you are apart it ends up being destructive. I never want to be in that place again.
From 16 years old, I wanted to have a baby, that's all I wanted.
I was the eldest daughter with these four beautiful younger sisters with ringlets and pretty faces, and I used to dress them up in Victorian clothes and take them out for the day and pretend they were mine.
There are people out there who want me to fail, who want Jude to fail, who want our relationship to fail.
I haven't done an international film for a long time.
When I had my first boy it all started and that male energy seemed to keep me awake but since my daughter, who's incredibly serene, I can't seem to stop sleeping because she's asleep all the time. It's a pattern.
I find a lot of young filmmakers make too much of an effort to be trendy and they can be pretentious.
My parents are from Manchester but I was brought up in London, Camden Town.
It is so important that you don't stay with someone just for the children and for the wrong reasons.
I don't like it when people don't act on their words.
If I am in London I like a quick get away to The Olde Bell in Hurley... It's nearby and no stress - great food and beautiful walks.
I was a very defiant child, and my father encouraged that. He wanted me to be as wild and creative as possible and didn't believe in disciplining children.
I was fiercely independent and ambitious from a very young age.
My father was a painter and an anarchist, always getting in trouble for his performance art.
I love babies. I love being pregnant and I loved giving birth.
If the kids did want to get into showbiz then so be it, but I would never project anything on to my children.
I've had four children and I've done a good job and I'm happy in life.
