parent theatrical
My parents were not theatrical at all.
fashion clothes trends
I do enjoy fashion - a lot of runway clothes are pretty unwearable, but if moderated, the trends can be worn by just about anyone.
play rehearsal actresses
The rehearsal time is almost my favourite part of being an actress, particularly if you're working on a play that hasn't been done before.
suits habit stores
I'm a creature of habit, so I like going to boutiques, rather than larger stores, where I know I'll find something that suits me every time.
jazz modern tricky
I do find modern jazz quite tricky.
jobs thinking actors
An actor's job is about putting across the author's intention; I don't think of myself on the same level as a creator.
mother differences generations
I don't agree with the whole 'my mother's my friend' approach, because you're their mum and there has to be a difference between the generations.
struggle writing thinking
I think all good writing is a struggle. To write as well as you feel you can has to be a struggle, almost by definition, because you could always improve.
older younger
I know some actresses who used to be older than me who are now younger than me - I don't know how they do it.
british-actress crafts enjoy experts home later showing watch
I enjoy the crafts on the show enormously, too, when we have experts in showing how to make things. You watch them thinking you'll go home and do the things yourself, which is fun. Some I have done myself later on.
british-actress business buying cakes certainly changes extremely fun generally happy home people run sit
Having cakes as a business certainly changes things for me-I don't now sit at home doing a cake for the fun of it anymore. But it's an extremely happy and pleasureable business to run because people are generally buying cakes for celebrations.
advocating cake cooking intense kitchen life pleasure proportion putting rediscover short table time work
I'm not advocating we should all be back in the kitchen and cooking all the time, because life's too short and we've got more interesting things to do. But to rediscover the intense pleasure of making a cake and putting it down on the table is ridiculously satisfying, out of all proportion to the work.
religious people upset
It makes me upset, if not angry, when people assume that there can be no morality without a religious framework. If there's a moral framework without all that religious stuff, it's more valuable.
home names way
I look at myself objectively and in a way I see myself as a commodity. Your name becomes somehow outside yourself. Now, when I'm at home being Mrs. Scarfe, that's when I'm most myself.
