reign temper hard
Ive struggled so hard to reign in my temper because it actually terrifies me.
country mean scotland
I was brought up in Scotland and have always been a country person, although the town means a great deal to me, too.
bullying dog children
The things that make me very angry are injustice and bullying. If I see someone bullying a woman or child in the street, or kicking a dog, I go completely mad.
garden house want
Someone had told me about a house in Wandsworth, southwest London - 21 Blenkarne Road - with an incredible garden, so I went and had a look. I walked in and just said, 'I want it.'
country sacrifice mirrors
If Ibsen's 'Enemy of the People' were alive today, he would recognize the ethic that has informed capitalist and communist countries alike - economic growth before public health and well-being. The true enemies of the people ar those who continue to sacrifice our long-term interests for short-term gains. But perhaps we should all look in the mirror.
sleep night men
Men find it difficult because I've got so much energy and hardly sleep at night, only four or five hours. I wake up in the early hours and potter around.
life being-in-love love-is
I feel I'd like to share my luck and my life. Being in love is the best thing in the world.
love character writing
Acting and writing go together. Actors write because they love words and becoming other people - we love to escape into other characters.
relationship thinking lovely
A relationship is lovely if you're happy, comfortable in it and you really like the person. I can think of nothing better. But there's nothing worse than having a relationship in which you feel no interest.
family weekend important
Seeing the family is a very important part of my weekend.
