Divorce is not easy, but if you genuinely put your kids first, that dictates the civility you should show each other. What example are you otherwise?
I don't know what the future holds, but I have to be confident about it. It's just the way I am.
Any people whose lives are about the way they look, whether it's fat or thin, are in a dangerous area.
That's the awful thing about dating. Tight underwear. We would all like to be in a big bra and pants and when you are in a secure relationship you can do that.
It was fantastic to work in Cornwall partly because my family live there so I was able to do lots of visiting and eat lots of cake. They live all over Cornwall and all over Devon.
It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life.
I do think you are supposed to go through wars with your child because otherwise the tearing apart that has to happen when they go off to lead their own life would be unbearable.
I'll always be a fat girl and I am happy with that.
I'd like to play a horse, many people think I already have. Either end of the horse would be fine.
In actual life I am a grumpy old bag.
I haven't really ever had to audition for anything.
I know what it's like to struggle for cash. When I went to drama school, I worked as a chambermaid to make ends meet.
Writing has become my great joy - I simply love it.
When I wrote 'Dear Fatty,' I realised that sitting and writing alone is an absolute joy.
