My ambition is to become one of those actresses that is like a chameleon that you don't recognize.

Be positive and laugh at everything.

Nobody puts Roach in the corner.

That's where my passion was ignited, on the set of 'Pobol Y Cwm.' I loved it and I've had such a passion for TV and films. I can't do anything else.

I had to live and breathe Margaret Thatcher for a few months. I totally engulfed myself in her life. I read her autobiography and a biography, 'The Grocer's Daughter.'

I think the most important thing is to have fun, and not to take things too seriously. Once you start doing that, then you'll start to crumble.

I love leaving the house in a new outfit; I don't feel the pressure at all.

I love all reality TV - Strictly, 'The X Factor.' I really don't see why people are so snobby about it.

Hairpieces are brilliant for adding volume.

Actresses are mental on the whole. But I think I'm pretty normal.

I love vintage, but it's so expensive now.

In forming an estimate of sins, we are often imposed upon by imagining that the more hidden the less heinous they are.

In life we do not attract what we want, we attract who we are.

Better is the enemy of best.

The biggest things in life have been achieved by people who, at the start, we would have judged crazy. And yet if they had not had these crazy ideas the world would have been more stupid.

Microsoft's philosophy is to 'do things better.' And Vista has given us lots of opportunity to do that.

To be at the top, you have to have a competitive streak in you. If you're not performing, you've got to be angry with yourself.

The more we witness our emotional reactions and understand how they work, the easier it is to refrain.

Some days you tame the tiger, and some days the tiger has you for lunch.

You tend to close your eyes to truth, beauty and goodness because they give no scope to your sense of the ridiculous.

No matter what you do, if there's something you're afraid of, you need to break through it.
