“I had this career and then I was working and then I met Rob and then I kind of went off and got married and had kids, and in that process, which was amazing and fantastic, I lost my confidence as an actress and as a working woman.”

“Rob loves my mum, I think the most in the whole world. They are two peas in a pod and I'm the one on the outside. It makes me even more in love with my husband and with my mum, because she can be bonkers and unconventional and it can be embraced.”

“Rob and I both have a problem with taking jokes too far.”

“Well, I love Take That but l've always been partial to Robbie Williams' songs.”

“I don't think Rob has ever auditioned for anything aside from Take That.”

“Simon Cowell is trying to get everyone to clone their dogs, and we've had our dogs 'done' so they can't have puppies any more. Cloning is like modern day reproducing - reproducing the bits you want.”

“I can't not work - I love acting.”

“For years, I was 'just' a stay at home mum and wife - which, by the way, is harder than any other job I've ever had.”

“I love British television. I love the irony, I love the authenticity and I love the roles I get put up for.”

“I have zero filters.”

“I have to audition for everything; there is no Mrs. Robbie Williams free pass, and because I'm working with British actors everyone is so polite - no one mentions Robbie.”

“Behind closed doors, Rob is a real teddy bear, a big softie.”

“Robbie minced into my life and he had the same oddball sense of humour as me. It was love at first laugh.”

“Listen, my dad left me, my mom is crazy, I'm from L.A., a pop star dumped me three times and I'm an actress who gets rejected constantly.”

“There are such wonderful blessings in my life - I have this amazing baby, an amazing family, and I loved X Factor - all these moments of joy, and then these sharp drop-offs. I'd be awake, lying in bed, crying. There's these weird moments of misplaced anger I have.”
