If you're going to tell stories about life, you have to include a woman in your story.
If one day a TV series comes into my head, and that is what I want to write, I'll write it. It just depends what story is in my brain at the time.
If I went for too long without writing, I would start to feel like something inside me was dying.
I've not worked with Martin Freeman. I've hung out with him, but I've not worked with him.
I've been careful what I've put my name to.
I'm not a highly social person. I'm a highly productive person.
I'm not a girl who needs to put on a whole face of make-up before I leave the house.
I'm a pretty skeptical person, and I'm a realistic person.
I'm a bit of a pick-pocket on-set. If something is small enough to go in my pocket, and it will be neat memorabilia, it's gone.
I'm a bit delusional, but every time I do a job, I think I'm retired.
I was brought up in a household where I was not allowed to take the Lord's name in vain.
I used to watch actors and say, 'You poor suckers, that job looks miserable.'
I think of the 'Hobbit' films as being films for the family.
I think I can allow myself one child - and from then on, I think I would have to adopt. It makes sense not to add to the population problem.
