“In the adverts, I look like I do because 150 people have spent seven hours making me look dazzling. That's not me at all.”
“I do love playing aristocrats, probably because it's so against type. So much more interesting than playing a version of yourself.”
“If I was ambitious in my career, then I would have moved to the United States and given it a good go at films.”
“I am not into action and adventure on holiday; that doesn't really do it for me. I would much rather go and lie down.”
“There are lots of actors who are posh and stick with that, and there are lots of actors who are cockney, and that's what they do. That's fine, but I don't think that could be said about me.”
“Yes, I'm anal. I am just really organised.”
“Children will be children, and they're inquisitive. If teenagers want to know what's out there, they'll look, but there are things that aren't for their eyes.”
“Botox and other fillers make everybody look the same, with the big cheekbones where they fill you up. It's much cheaper to have a fringe - it takes years off everybody.”
“I happen to know there is nothing sexy or romantic about love scenes. They are just awful to do.”
“I have quite a lot of anxiety dreams.”
“There's nowhere to hide in the theatre. You can't be the one in rehearsal who doesn't know their lines.”
“My children have been all over the world, and I think it's so good for them: expanding their horizons and imagination and seeing how other people live.”
“'Upstairs Downstairs' and 'Downton Abbey' appeal to people because they're about our history, they look so beautiful, are written by amazing writers and have high production values.”
“If there's room for 30 reality shows, surely there's room for two amazing costume dramas.”
“'Ashes To Ashes' is a victim of its own success. We started lots of trends. I like to think we had something to do with bringing back the high waist. It's so much more flattering.”
“Marriage and being a mother are absolutely crucial to my happiness and my life.”
“My beauty regime is very simple. I just take my make-up off before bed. And oh, I always put moisturiser on. But that's about it, apart from a bit of soap maybe.”
“There have been times in my life when I have felt like I can't go out without my makeup on. But now I just put on some dark glasses so people can't see if I look rough!”
“I don't like dirt. Cleanliness is high on my agenda, but I don't have a phobia of dirt. I'm just not keen on it. I don't really like dirty people or houses or smelly things.”
“When I grew up in central London, we had six pavement slabs for a garden.”
