I think more and more people these days go for the safe option in film making.
We've found something we'd like to do but nothing's definite yet.
When I first read the script for 'A Little Chaos,' I just loved reading it, as it is a really lovely, accessible, contemporary period film.
I don't know... part of, I suppose, my way out of everything, has been really taking care of myself. I think that comes from an awareness that my children really need me, and they need me to be the healthiest version of myself that I can possibly be.
I don't know why I'm suddenly playing nasty people. It is very fun, though, and it isn't real, at the end of the day.
I don't beat myself up any more about going to work. It doesn't mean I'm being a bad mother just because I want to go and do my job sometimes.
I am a person. I am not a soap opera.
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 don't have those great, strong, glowing pregnancies.
No actor wants to play someone else's performance.
Lots of male friendships begin as a cheeky snog. Or a little undercurrent of flirtation.
Single mums do come in for a hard time. Society is incredibly judgmental. I know this.
Mildred Pierce was capable of great acts of love as a mother.
Mothers who work full time - they're the real heroes.
