I have such a lovely life and I just never imagined that I would miscarry a baby.

I want to be buried with a mobile phone, just in case I'm not dead.

I should have been out there having a wild time like all the other girls my age, but I wasn't. I was going home every night to what was, initially, a very happy marriage.

We are not primarily put on this earth to see through one another, but to see one another through.

There's definitely a wave of Brits doing great work on American television, and I wouldn't mind being one of them!
