The things that make me very angry are injustice and bullying. If I see someone bullying a woman or child in the street, or kicking a dog, I go completely mad.

Seeing the family is a very important part of my weekend.

Acting and writing go together. Actors write because they love words and becoming other people - we love to escape into other characters.

Someone had told me about a house in Wandsworth, southwest London - 21 Blenkarne Road - with an incredible garden, so I went and had a look. I walked in and just said, 'I want it.'

I feel I'd like to share my luck and my life. Being in love is the best thing in the world.

Ive struggled so hard to reign in my temper because it actually terrifies me.

Men find it difficult because I've got so much energy and hardly sleep at night, only four or five hours. I wake up in the early hours and potter around.

I was brought up in Scotland and have always been a country person, although the town means a great deal to me, too.

It's good to feel attractive on the outside, but being smart and confident on the inside is what counts.

Never to suffer would have been never to have been blessed.

I do believe that one way to have a destiny is to choose one.

Never take advice from someone wearing a tie.

Exercising gives me endorphins and energy. I do it four days a week.
