It's awkward going to parties with people you don't know, especially when they think they know you.
It's a scary life and sometimes you think you'll never work again.
I'm not one of those people who sits around knowing all bands and going to gigs all the time.
I've realized why I don't tell the truth in interviews. It's because they're printed months later, and you change so quickly - you have new thoughts, new everything - so people are reading an old version of you.
I'm kind of feeling ashamed now that I never get bullied. Everyone keeps asking me, but I don't, and it's kind of annoying. I wish I could say I did get bullied, because then everyone would feel sorry for me.
My mother remembers that after I filmed a Ruth Rendell mystery when I was about six or seven, I cried inconsolably for a day afterwards, because it was all over. I still feel very sad when things end, but I know that I'll probably meet up with people again at some point.
Hugh's just a geezer, a great laugh - although he is a bit corrupting. But he did get me interested in golf and cricket and snooker.
That's the main thing, looking for interesting characters, good directors, and experiences where you're growing and learning.
I'm not one of those people who's saying "I'm going to set up a production company", because I like acting and not having to be a business man and do that side of things.
I'm not too vain - I sometimes take pride in my appearance, but I stick to the rule never to spend longer than a girl getting ready.
I try not to read about myself. Why would reading about yourself be interesting? You're only going to be told you're doing a good job and get big headed about it, or be told you're rubbish and get down in the dumps. What's the point?
I don't like watching myself. I get embarrassed.
If you're out, and starving, and need a bite to eat, then you need fast food.
I won't eat veal, and my mum won't eat lamb, because she thinks it's a bit harsh to eat cute things.
