I was a bit overweight as a teenager, which may be why I'm more comfortable playing with clothes than showing my body.

Clothes are interesting and they're there to be played with. I like the idea of costume rather than fashion.

Why not just have fun with clothes? We should be more light-hearted about how we dress, how we look. If you experiment, you can go wrong, clearly; but you can have a wonderful time doing it!

Mum asks why I am so often cast in adulterous roles. I think it must be because I am fairly flirty.

There's nothing more comfortable or leisurely than having a pair of Ugg slippers on in the house.

I went to Paris for a year in 1986 to study theatre; there was a lot of clowning around, buffoonery and fencing. It was then that my own style kind of blossomed.
