I don't believe in sort of holding back, you know, life isn't a dress rehearsal!
One of the reasons I've never done intensive psychotherapy or any of that stuff is that if there's anything in me that needs fixing, I want to know that I can rely on my own intuition to fix it.
Since I was 13 or 14, I've always felt older than I actually am.
I think of myself as a mum who finds the time to go to work. I have to check myself for baby sick before I walk out of the house in the morning. I am really a mum I know I am a great mother.
The good and bad things are what form us as people... change makes us grow
I still don't believe this craziness for being skinny, but I eat sensibly and I don't stuff down chocolate biscuits
I don't go to the gym because I don't have time but I do Pilates workout DVDs for 20 minutes or more every day at home
I look like people that walk down the street. I don't have perfect boobs, I don't have zero cellulite - of course I don't - and I'm curvy. If that is something that makes women feel empowered in any way, that's great.
The highest compliment I could ever receive about my kids - and I can say that this does happen frequently - is when the in-flight crew say to me, 'Your children are wonderful. They are so well-behaved.' Every time I am told that, I could weep.
My skin still crawls if you call me a movie star. I get embarrassed. I think, don't be ridiculous. Maybe it's because I'm British. To me, Julia Roberts that's a movie star. But when people do call me one, that, I think, is an enormous compliment but, my God, is that a responsibility!
I finally moved out of my parent's house. It was only fair to let my sister have her own room.
I feel like I'm playing more of a role walking down the red carpet than when I'm playing an ordinary woman covered in sweat.
I do think it's important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don't really look like that.
I am insecure. If you ask me, everybody is.
