I love babies. I love being pregnant and I loved giving birth.

My parents are from Manchester but I was brought up in London, Camden Town.

My style is scruffy with a touch of androgyny.

I always wear flat shoes, because I can't walk in anything else.

I've always been an animal lover. People should be made aware of all the issues. Some people think that the whole wearing-fur thing is glamorous, but you can look good without it.

When you love someone so much that you are in pain when you are apart it ends up being destructive. I never want to be in that place again.

I'm always the girl at the party who, within five minutes, has taken my heels off, hitched up my dress in my knickers, and probably spilt drink down my cleavage.

I really fought to make my character not a stereotype. I play a soap star with dyed blonde hair.

I'm playing a very strong character, it's the story of the woman Polish Jews out of the Warsaw ghetto. I've just begun my weapons training and the SAS type training that's getting me fit.

At home it's all Batman and Star Wars and they do gang up on me. Sometimes I don't want to dress up as Darth Vader or play train sets, so I'll go out for a drink with the girls.

I've never got into debt and I've always been in control of my taxes and VAT, but having four children costs a lot. They are my weakness.

You get out of hell one step at a time." -- Abbie Sullivan, "Cinderella Shoots the Moon.

You've only just discovered you have a heart. Let it beat a little.

I may have my fault's but being wrong isn't one of them

I am a woman, I make mistakes. I make them often. God has given me a talent and that's it.

A non-event ... is better to write about than an event, because with a non-event you can make up the meaning yourself, it means whatever you say it means.

It bothers me when I don't score.

Love is an artful arrangement of artless pretensions, whereby we labor to appear innocent in what we desire to be most cunning.

A novel, I think, is partly about the contemporary and partly about the eternal, and it's the balance of that that's difficult to achieve.

You've got every right to a beautiful life

I like performing live more than anything. I get a little bit afraid in the studio.
