lovely
It's lovely to be here, and at least it's, you know, no effort.
longer took
It took them longer to get me dolled up for Elinor in Sense And Sensibility because it took so long to do the hair.
gap needed time took
The gap was so long because it needed to be. It took that time - that's the time it took,
two switching flashback
The flashbacks are parallel for me. You experience two storylines at the same time, and I'm not switching from one time to another.
real preparation roles
If there's a role you're playing and there's a great deal of material to explore because the person was real then it's a completely different preparation time and message to playing someone fictional.
weekend what-matters sometimes
It doesn't matter how good the movie is. What matters is what it takes during the opening weekend. It's slightly distressing sometimes but that's how it works.
children thinking animal
I think people say you shouldn't work with children or animals, but you must only work with children.
feelings fancy
Is love a fancy or a feeling.... or a Ferrars?
fall ice earth
Without the ice, the earth will fall
husband experts different
My husband is here and I'd like to thank him, for many things, but first of all for pointing out that I had a big hole in my frock and then that my nipples were pointing in different directions. It's good to have an expert there to help you with that sort of thing.
religious condom-use leader
The Catholic Church - it's so difficult because I don't want say anything offensive but it makes me very angry that religious leaders from this faith have tried to respond negatively to sexual education and to the promotion of condom use
laughter celebration failing
Laughter is a celebration of our failings. That's what clowns are for. And that's what I am.
dream real home
Sometimes I get to put on posh frocks and be Madam Glamour, the vendor of my wares. My lovely friend Kath, a stylist, puts me into things I'd never dream of. But my real life is very different. It's very, very home-based - an intense domestic life, that's the core of everything.
needs sometimes
Sometimes you'll have some things, and sometimes you'll have other things. And you do not need it all at once; it's not good for you.
