So much of my life is not about work and that is usually mainly what I do tweet about. We live a very quiet life.

I am an American. I adore Britain and have a strong English half, but my roots are here in the U.S. - it is not a matter of choice it is simply fact.

There is a cost that comes with moving schools so often and it's not what I want for my son when he gets older, but it did make me very adaptable. I became aware of what was missing from the social structure of each class that I arrived in, and made sure to fill that gap.

I started so slowly and had so few followers and then it kind of sort of snowballed. I still feel an intimacy on Twitter, which I think a lot of us do. It feels intimate, doesn't it? I love it. I never thought I would.

I am determined that nothing but the deepest love could ever induce me into matrimony.

People used to always ask, and I would say I wanted to be an actress. When they would ask why, I would say because my mother has so much fun.

After 'The Real Thing,' I thought about giving up acting because it's difficult to have a rich life outside your work when you're an actress, a private life that can survive being picked up and put down. That's what I thought, anyway.
