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'.
people lucky talent
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.
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.
funeral four well-known
I did become quite well known from 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', and it helped hugely. I wasn't as famous as Hugh Grant, but I certainly began to work.
crazy buying-things buying
I love buying things. I could be one of those crazy hoarders.
innocent young
I was never, ever the ingenue. The young, innocent lead was just not me.
people my-family whole
Some people in my family achieved a lot, some people inherited a lot. But I turned my back on the whole thing.
theatre normal actors
In the theatre, if you say 'Macbeth', all the actors will start looking very anxious. I'm so well-trained not to say it in the theatre that I can hardly say it in normal life.
running husband lovers
I find running life quite hard and I like sharing that. Obviously, the companionship, being loved and loving, is fantastic. But I don't feel that I couldn't live without a boyfriend or lover or husband.
jobs trying mouths
I do try and curb my mouth, but I find it really hard. I wonder how many jobs I've talked myself out of!
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.
