Thank God I've never had the sort of intense fame that means you can't walk up the road. That sort of blazing stardom must be difficult to cope with and maintain; my career has just bubbled along happily.
british-actress crafts enjoy experts home later showing watch
I enjoy the crafts on the show enormously, too, when we have experts in showing how to make things. You watch them thinking you'll go home and do the things yourself, which is fun. Some I have done myself later on.

My parents were not theatrical at all.
ideas looks looking-back
I've never particularly liked the idea of looking back; I'd rather look forward

I do enjoy fashion - a lot of runway clothes are pretty unwearable, but if moderated, the trends can be worn by just about anyone.

I adore food and always have.

I swim more or less every day.

I think one wants lots of different lives.

As a child, I wanted to marry a farmer, but no doubt the reality would have been very different to the idyll in my head.

The rehearsal time is almost my favourite part of being an actress, particularly if you're working on a play that hasn't been done before.
children husband determined
I was always very determined, as was my husband, that we wouldn't let any of our children act when they were young.
