two switching flashback
The flashbacks are parallel for me. You experience two storylines at the same time, and I'm not switching from one time to another.
two people awful
You can't be a great mum and work the whole time necessarily; those two things aren't ideal. We have an awful lot to work on and to debate about in relation to our working lives, because it isn't working for a lot of people, particularly for a lot of women.
mean two fields
I don't mean being famous is a perk, because one knows that it's not necessarily a perk, but there are certain perks to being well-known and respected in one's field. Public perks. Like, I don't know, general friendliness and willingness to please, just to point out two.
mom two people
Once you're a mom, you've been split into two people. It's like Peter Pan and his shadow.
gets given name names sort thinking
Every name I think of gets pooh-poohed by my partner, the young Mr. Greg Wise, ... I've sort of given up thinking of names now.

There is a lot of interest in post office art today, I think people are appreciating what we have, ... We're excited and starting to look up to see what's there, and that is my purpose.

I think it would be terrible if what children come away (with) from this movie was that you've always got to behave. No! Not so!
children generally naughty parents
Parents always think it's the kids' fault. If they're naughty, it's the kids' fault. Not true! Children generally are not naughty for no reason.
opposite reached
Having reached 40 this year, if they were going to find someone to play opposite me they'd have to exhume him.
kids time work
I would say to people, for heaven's sake, if you're going to have kids you've got to put the work and the time into it.
child supposed time truth
One is a child when one has a child. No one says, 'You will never be the same again.' Which is the truth! And we're all supposed to be happy all the time. What is that about?
