I was just disciplined. I knew I had to get back into shape after six weeks for the film Goal II, but I cheated in the end - I wore a corset. I loved my pregnancy, I blossomed. I felt goddess-like and very secure. I found it comforting to have a little thing growing inside me, and very calming.

I want more children but for the next three years I want to act.

Being a mother gives you an incredible feeling of empowerment, you think if I can go through such pain and that level of sleep and still operate and not be grumpy you can do anything. It can be quite scary, you can't function your brain, forget your vocabulary.

I was so completely anxious before I had a child, but now my biggest worry is something happening to her, so anything other than that I can handle. That's not to say I'm calm, because that would be b****cks! I wish it were the case, but it's getting better as I get older.

I've been on sets where the turnaround is so fast and the budget so small that the actors have been asked to speed things up and save money by changing in the public toilets. There's no room for vanity at times like that. It's the best way: get on with it!

For me personally, everything is on a kiss.

Eternity to a child offers goodness, and eternal life to a man is essentially corrupting because it involves a certain amount of vanity to embrace it.

I've never been onstage in my life.

It's really important to draw the line on what we do as actors.

But Americans find me bizarre and always ask me why I eat so many carbs. I tell them I don't get full otherwise.

I look at being an actress as being like a mummy: You're bandaged up and preserved as soon as you start making other people money.

People became more interested in my love life than in me, and that has a certain effect. You start to feel very empty and worth nothing, you start to become a piece in a board game you never wanted to play.

When I was younger I thought I'd meet the man of my dreams, get married and have a child, but it all went higgledy-piggledy. Never say never, though.

These women need to feel that we're all aware of what they may be going through, to give them the confidence to speak out.

I've been onstage once for one performance with four days' rehearsal.

Onstage, there's no hiding you either can or can't act. There's no second take.
