Proper love should be utterly supportive and comfortable, and it feels like a raincoat or a jacket potato.

In general, I'm rubbish in heels. I love them, and I own a lot because it's like being in a sweet shop: they're pretty. But I'm not good in them. I don't walk nicely in heels.

I used to want to be in 'Downton' because I had never been in a period drama, but then I did 'The Suspicions of Mr Whicher' and had to wear one of those frocks and... I didn't feel very comfortable.

I don't like the bullying, do-one-over style of comedy. It's so cheap.

I love my job and I know I am very lucky but still, if you audition and you don't get it, it still affects you.

Actually, lots of women, when they're pregnant, feel like steel. They feel incredible.
