If I am in London I like a quick get away to The Olde Bell in Hurley It's nearby and no stress - great food and beautiful walks.

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.

It is wrong to have an ideal view of the world. That's where the mischief starts. That's where everything starts unravelling...

To win peace, fight with love not with violence.

Times of adversity, rekindle my spirit.

Freedom is the natural state, acceptance of bonds is a choice we make. We prefer to accept loss of freedom to losing something much less valuable but which we are not willing to sacrifice.

I felt held hostage by her illness and by the backward mental health system that once again was incapable of helping our family in crisis.

I think by planning an exercise regime, your diet follows to some extent.

If Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I'd draw the curtains.

Nothing is more likely to start me screaming like a madwoman than New York in February with its piles of blackened snow full of yellow holes drilled by dogs.

I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

Traditionally, animation has been dominated by men in the past. I don't know why it attracted guys.
