grateful night cold
It's such a cold night and it's the only time I've actively been grateful for menopause. I've been entirely comfortable.

Don't ever go on a diet. Just don't. Walk away. Diets are the spawn of Satan.
uggs people style
The best way [to survive] the red carpet is by wearing Ugg boots. But unfortunately, I have not yet managed to persuade the people who style me at these times to let me do that.
insanity opiates stuff
The insanity of consumption bothers me. Talk about the opiate of the masses. It ain't religion anymore. It's stuff.
high-heels painful heels
Why do we wear them? They're so painful.
typical bottles film
I have a nervous breakdown in the film and in one scene I get to stand at the top of the stairs waving an empty sherry bottle which is, of course, a typical scene from my daily life, so isn't much of a stretch.
daughter mother thinking
It's not my fault that there is this gap between rich and poor, it is the fault of governments. I want a different world. One where I don't wake up thinking I'm so lucky to be able to feed my daughter.
daughter mother high-heels
My mother has never approved of high heels. As a result, I have never been able to walk in high heels - and they were all I ever wanted. So of course, my daughter has two pairs.

I don't have technique because I never learnt any.

I Don't Need the nicotene patch, Penny - I smoke cigarettes.
daughter baby helping-others
I want a different world. One where I don't wake up thinking I'm so lucky to be able to feed my daughter, and able to give people a clean drink of water. I don't want images of starving babies at the breast in my mind. I want that to change. And if I want that, I had better do something about it.
piracy
Piracy is our only option.
daughter mother morning
This morning, I went to wipe my hands on a tea towel, and while I was using it, it seemed like it felt a bit light. I unfolded it and realized my daughter had cut little bits out of it to make frocks for her dolls!
girlfriend grateful london
Girlfriends are vital ... Maggie [Gyllenhaal] and I will always see each other when Maggie's in London or I'm here. We'll always make time to sit and catch up properly.
