My kids inspire me to be the person I am today - without them I wouldn't be who I am today.

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.

Sir I would rather be right than be President.

I will not fail,' the water bearer's daughter vowed. 'But worse than failing is not to try at all. For then there can be no hope of success.

Terrorism is the tactic of demanding the impossible, and demanding it at gunpoint.

Disbelief in futurity loosens in a great measure the ties of morality, and may be for that reason pernicious to the peace of civil society.

It's upsetting to be a man in our society.

I will cancel job-killing restrictions on the production of American energy, including shale energy and clean coal, creating many millions of high-paying jobs.

The drive to learn is as strong as the sexual drive. It begins earlier and lasts longer

When the money dries up, the sites die off. That's the way to go after piracy.

I wear a lot of boyish stuff, but I prefer to throw a fur coat on top just for the hell of it.

Nature abhors the old.
