I'd love to adopt, but having a daughter, Daisy, who's in the middle of her teens, I'm now thinking: Is this a time to start all over again or is this a time to realise those child-rearing years are over?

I think work really is a life saver, because it carries you forward, which is good.

To newspapers and publishing houses I urge the use of fact over fiction, freedom of the press, and responsibility at all times.

The highest pay cheque my mother ever received funded the building of a nursery school in Shepherd's Bush - the school cost well over three times the money she donated to the making of the film 'The Palestinian.' Unsurprisingly this always goes unmentioned in the press.

So often people say something and you realise you haven't really heard it.

And whatever my weight, I've always been skinny from the waist up.

You grow up by making mistakes. I've made a ton of them, but as long as I keep on failing better, I don't mind.

When I very first started out, I had that arrogance of youth.

It's very difficult when there are pictures taken on the red carpet. I find those things so terrifying that another persona just kicks in. I don't recognise myself.

I live quite an unsettled life.
