brought change complex constantly dynamics easy family gang left others
I was brought up with two sisters, so I do know about a three-way dynamic. It's a complex one, because it's easy for one to get left out and the others to gang up. In my family, we were all pretty up for it, but the dynamics would constantly change.
children divorced environment four quickly suddenly
My parents had four children quickly, divorced quickly - when I was two - and my mother remarried quickly. We were suddenly in a different environment with a different father.
brains cafe eat oysters stuff vegetables worked
I'm not crazy about oysters and offal and brains and stuff like that. It's vegetables that I really like. I worked in the River Cafe restaurant when it first opened, and I used to eat the leftover vegetables on the plates. They were so delicious.

If I had married someone wealthy when I was young, I would have sunk like a stone. Being skint makes life quite clear. You've got to take that job.

I'm always crying. I get a lump in my throat when I see intimacy between parents and their children.

I was one of those lucky people with only one talent. It is harder for people with many talents to decide what to do.
thinking people remember
When people said schooldays were the best days of your life, I remember thinking: 'Tell me it's not true. This cannot be it.' I don't think my life has ever been that bad again. It hasn't always been easy but at least I have been free.
jobs play tiny
I went for endless auditions for tiny parts in obscure plays, and never got one job until I was in 'Four Weddings'.
crazy ducks swans
I'm crazy about ducks and swans and geese, so I don't eat foie gras. I try to eat organic.
cake people recipes
I can cook to please people, but it's quite conventional. I make a good sponge cake. I find it hard to follow recipes.
