One year you go in for auditions, and everybody thinks you're the queen of comedy, and the next year, you're so 'yesterday,' and it's not because you've done anything, or your ability has changed you haven't been in work because you've been putting on weight and then trying to lose it.

I once had a friend who did the hair for sci-fi movies, and after a particularly bad break-up I stupidly went to her salon and told her she could do anything she liked. She dyed the bottom cherry red and the top peroxide blonde.

The children break all my jewelry, so everything I wear is cheap - from Topshop or Dorothy Perkins.
