People can never work out where they know me from. They just come up and chat with me like mates.

I don't usually get to play sophisticated women. I usually do the old scrubs, chavs or slappers.

I certainly never get above my station - my family would soon slap me back down to earth.

Not having gone to drama school, I always feel like a bit of a fraud, but so far it looks as though I've not been found out.

I don't mind being unlikely. I'd rather that than be predictable.

Your eyes smile peace.

I had a rough spot about being a goody-goody Mormon, and not drinking or smoking. But I'm kind of grateful I've got this image now. There are no skeletons in my closet. What you see is what you get.

Biologists can be just as sensitive to heresy as theologians.

I haven't raised my voice for eight to 10 years in the kitchen. And I won't have anybody shouting. If I hear of anybody having a go at anyone else, they'll get disciplined.

I don't think that what's going on in Bosnia is political activity. It's partly political, but it's partly atavistic as well.
