bit dull fine maggie michael quite sad smith stick
When you think about such fine actors as Maggie Smith or Michael Gambon, they do all mediums. I think it would be quite sad and a bit dull just to have to stick to one. I like all of them.
encouraged family
We're not an acting family, but my parents have always encouraged me.
people
I went on two holidays as a child. It wasn't what people did where I grew up.
I was never one of those teenagers who sang into their hairbrush.
adore love
I love fashion; I adore it. I love the madness of it.
hope
I hope to be still acting when I'm 70 on TV, film and theatre.
awful happen love romantic
I happen to know there is nothing sexy or romantic about love scenes. They are just awful to do.
love playing
I do love playing aristocrats, probably because it's so against type. So much more interesting than playing a version of yourself.
people
The Turkish people are the friendliest I've ever met.
brushing children funny playing pot room toothbrush
The funny thing about children is that, whichever room we're in, that's where they'll be. If I'm in the bath, they'll want to be in there too, playing with the toothbrush pot or brushing my hair.
bringing high lots success
'Ashes To Ashes' is a victim of its own success. We started lots of trends. I like to think we had something to do with bringing back the high waist. It's so much more flattering.
children
Children will be children, and they're inquisitive. If teenagers want to know what's out there, they'll look, but there are things that aren't for their eyes.
bit eating food free junk love mind worked
I worked in McDonald's, but I didn't mind it. You got free cheeseburgers. I love eating a bit of junk food.
rather
I am not into action and adventure on holiday; that doesn't really do it for me. I would much rather go and lie down.
