On The Whole, I Prefer Christmas As

I Think Maybe When You Live With Someone Who Is Really Very Ill For A Long Time, It Somehow Gives You More Of A Greedy Appetite For Life And Maybe, Yes, You Are Less Measured In Your Behaviour Than You Would Otherwise Be.

I Wasn't Good With Authority, Went To Lots Of Schools, Didn't Like The Fact That There Was No Autonomy.

I Don't Like Conflict.

I Took A Fortnight Off. But I'm Not A Great Believer In Breaks. I Don't Want To Be Rattling Around Inside My Own Head. I Did Feel I Was Spiralling Into A Kathy Burke Character And Tried Going Out, But I Prefer It Here. Filming Keeps Me Busy. It Absorbs Me.

Everyone Wants To Be Young, Beautiful And Rich. I Don't Say That Scornfully: There Are Worse Things To Want To Be. But That's Why, For Example, People Don't Begrudge Kate Moss How Much She Earns For A Day's Work But Will Fulminate Over The Take-home Pay Of Some Fat, Old Water Board Exec.
