kids emotional surface
Everything with me is pretty close to the surface, but having kids has completely ruined my emotional equilibrium.
children nice struggle
If I didn't have children I might be more of a lush than I am. I like booze. I struggle with smoking. And I'm a big swearer. I'm trying to rein it in but I do think it's a nice seasoning of language.
reading people choices
If a script is good, you are 10 steps into the part just reading it. But my choices are not all down to my taste. It is about people you have worked with before.
beautiful sexy husband
I'm not a pin-up, thankfully. I'm not suggesting I feel unconfident. I am beautiful to my husband. I am beautiful to my friends. I feel sexy and all those things with the people I love.
children dark offering
I had a lovely, feral, free childhood - out and then come back when you're hungry or it gets too dark. I feel slightly cruel that I'm not offering my children the same.
bullying style comedy
I don't like the bullying, do-one-over style of comedy. It's so cheap.
patient mum turns
I always assumed I'd be a terribly patient mum but it turns out I'm not!
drama school lady-macbeth
I always assumed I would leave drama school and do 'Lady Macbeth' and all sorts of serious things. It just didn't happen.
