One thing I love about being back is English rain. Looking out of the window now, it's raining, and the sky is dark; I love it. To me, those are reassuringly English things. I love it when it rains.
I think any form of self-expression is half confidence, half sheer hard work and, maybe, a bit of talent thrown in.
I burp, I fart. I'm a real woman.
Real luxury is having the time to read endless stories in bed with my children. And I get that all the time. I'm so blessed.
There's always going to be a part of me that worries about not looking as slim as other actresses.
You see, I was never a big fan of contemporary movies because they always make actresses and actors look too perfect.
As an adult and a parent, when I'm not acting, I'm not acting. I'm being a parent, and I'm on the school run, and I'm sewing labels onto socks. That's what I'm doing.
Awards season is always a huge amount of fun whether you're a part of it or not. It's always really exciting seeing what films are coming and a lot of new talent as well.
I think that between 27 and 37 was a really big learning decade.

I resent that there is an image of perfection that is getting thinner and thinner. I've got a lovely husband and children, and I didn't lose weight to find those things.
Kitchens are so important. They're the heart of everything.
I think it's very important to teach your children to struggle on some level.
I was living in my lovely little two-bedroom flat in north London... and suddenly, I couldn't just walk down the street and buy a pint of milk.
