My parents are from Manchester but I was brought up in London, Camden Town..

My style is scruffy with a touch of androgyny..

I really enjoy making dinner for my kids and my husband - chopping ginger and marinating the tofu..

Having money has given me a certain freedom, but being in the public eye has taken away a lot..

I really fought to make my character not a stereotype. I play a soap star with dyed blonde hair..

At home it's all Batman and Star Wars and they do gang up on me. Sometimes I don't want to dress up as Darth Vader or play train sets, so I'll go out….

My kids inspire me to be the person I am today - without them I wouldn't be who I am today..

I've had four children and I've done a good job and I'm happy in life..

I don't like it when people don't act on their words..

I've concentrated for a long time on English films because I've got two kids but my oldest son is 11 and I think I'm going to be away for about four ….

I've always been an animal lover. People should be made aware of all the issues. Some people think that the whole wearing-fur thing is glamorous, but….

My childhood was colorfully anarchic and punctuated by a lot of change..

It is so important that you don't stay with someone just for the children and for the wrong reasons..
