A Job Is Not Just A Job.

I Think It's A Bigger Risk Following A Part That Plays Up Your Looks Than It Is To Try And Carve Out A Career As An Actor.

I'm Not Tom Cruise. Very Few British Actors Are. If You Look At The Body Of Work I've Done It's Pretty Obvious I'm Not Going To Make A 'mission: Impossible.'

In A Weird Way, It’s Kind Of A Relief To Think, ‘oh, I Know I’m Not That Young Sort Of Pretty Thing Anymore.’ It’s Quite Nice Talking About What It Was Like To Be The Young Pretty Thing, Rather Than Being It.

When I Think About It Like That, It Feels Like A Burden. But That Won't Mean I'll Be Single For The Rest Of My Life - I Hope. I Feel Very Settled With Myself In My World. I Don't Feel As Needy And Desperate To Prove Things About Myself. In My Twenties I Was Very Keen To Achieve This And Disprove This And That. Now I Enjoy Just Being Able To Concentrate On My Children And My Work And Myself.

I Was An Optimist, A Great Champion Of The Human Spirit. And I Lost That For A Time. I Feel Like I've Regained A Bit Of That In The Last Few Years But There Was A Period Of My Life In Which I Had A Very Low Opinion Of People In General.
