Having just had a baby, I'm not going to be thinking about my arse.
I have a crumble baby belly, boobs are worse for wear after two kids...I'm doing all right. I'm 33. I don't look in the mirror and go, "Oh, I look fantastic!". Of course I don't. Nobody is perfect. I just don't believe in perfection. But I do believe in saying, "This is who I am and look at me not being perfect!". I'm proud of that.
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.
I don't know how much I can be bothered to have to lose the baby weight. It's such a pain... I'm not one of those people for whom it magically drops off.
I'm not a believer in hiding things from my kids because ultimately they are going to have questions - they feel things.
I'm not a gardener. I wish I was.
I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a relatively slow reader.
I like the diversity that my children are exposed to every day.
I was 17 when Peter Jackson asked me to be in 'Heavenly Creatures.'
I kept my head; I mean, I've never been one of those people who ended up in the gutter with sick in my hair.
I lend my daughter beauty products, but only as a treat. If she's going to a party, I'll let her borrow a mascara or moisturizer.
I love Lancome's L'Absolu Rouge lipstick, as it lasts. Unless you spend the whole night snogging, you won't need to reapply it.
I'm only 5-foot-6, but people think I'm sort of a great big Viking woman. I'm not - I'm completely normal and average.
I have no regrets. (I)f you regret things, (then) you're sort of stepping backwards. I'm a believer in going forwards.
