home
I love home. I'd rather be at home than anywhere else.
nice jeans style
I like bootcut jeans in a plain style with a nice line.
baby people found
The one thing I've found is that someone always knows more than you do, including your babies. There are loads of things people presume I know about that I don't.
home weekend watches
I've got a stag weekend coming up and I've said I'm not doing anything more than a few drinks. I won't have it. I'll go home and watch Antiques Roadshow.
creativity clothes people
Most people have a passive relationship with music and clothes, with culture. But music was my first contact with anything creative. Music is it, as far as I'm concerned.
life-changing want bigs
I'm a big believer that life changes as much as you want it to.
christmas children gone-away
I've always loved Christmas and that's not really gone away from me from being a child to now. It's always a magical time and I'm unashamed in my love for Christmas.
military school cutting
Benedict (Cumberbatch, who is playing Sherlock) looks amazing. He's still got a Sherlockian silhouette, with a large overcoat, but in a classic cut. Watson dresses with an urban elegance, a touch of old school dashing, giving a feeling of both the military and medical profession. I suppose it's something they have in common as well. They're a bit metrosexual.
names annoyed definitions
Name anything - high-definition TV, computer obsolescence - and I'm pretty much annoyed by it.
two people proud
Thank you, people of Emmyland. To be nominated in such company is an honour, especially for two shows that I’m immensely proud of. I’m delighted.
thinking who-i-am play
There's a difference between the parts that I play and who I am and who people think I am. There's quite a big discrepancy sometimes between those things.
who-i-am getting-older care
The great thing about getting older is that you learn not to care about being cool. I'm happy with who I am, I know what I like and I can't see myself changing… not for a little while, at least.
fog capes length
I would wear a full-length cape if I could get away with it - I do love a good swirl in a fog.
contempt familiarity
I guess like any friendship, marriage, or whatever it is familiarity breeds more contempt, and more love. They're just more settled with each other now.
