“Fame doesn't get to me. I lead quite a quiet life on the whole - I will go to an awards ceremony if the show I'm in, or I, am nominated because I think it's important to say, 'Thank you.'”
“I'm on the daft scale. I mean, I am a typical Virgo in some ways. I am driven. I like to be prepared. I make lists. But I also like to muck around.”
“Becoming a mother and then losing your mother is quite... well, they both change you profoundly, and you have to give yourself time to understand what's happened with that.”
“That's the insecurity with our job, because you never know where the next role is coming from. No matter how successful you are, there's always a fear of someone not wanting me to play something else.”
“I like writing, and I enjoy the production part a lot, actually. It gives you longevity in a career, where you know sometimes you might not always have the time to do the parts you want to do.”
“People love dark stories because they take you to a place you think you don't want to go but really you do.”
“I think there are some people who have talent flying out of their fingers and other actors who hone their craft. I am an actor who found their way. I bettered myself throughout my career, and I am proud of that fact.”
“My brother was older, very bright. He went to university. I wasn't academically bright - maybe at first, when I was little, but it was lost. I started doing a drama workshop and got really into it, then I did a BTec in performing arts and started to work.”
“Julia Roberts was the first big Hollywood celebrity to make me feel like I could be her friend and aspire to be like her.”
“I grew up surrounded by two farms and their fields. My earliest memories are of our mongrel dog running around and cows looking in the window while we ate our tea.”
“I love Sian Brooke so much; she's hysterical.”
“I worked in pubs when I was younger. My nickname was Morticia.”
“I know that I am not a great beauty, and I know that I am a certain taste.”
“You read a script, and you know if you need to do it.”
“I've done shows where I was the lead, but maybe it wasn't quite right - I took them because I wanted to move my career on.”
“Most of the stuff I've done is quite serious, so I'm usually studious.”
“I was really talkative as a child. The priest used to pray for me not to talk so much because I was distracting the other kids.”
“As soon as I finished 'Doctor Foster,' I obviously wanted to run straight home to give my husband a big cuddle.”
“Trust is an issue that is very personal to each individual. You want to feel love and trust and all those things that bind relationships together, with your partner, your friends, your relatives, or any loved ones.”
“I love St. Ives and Fowey. I have childhood memories of the Headland Hotel, where 'The Witches' was filmed, standing on the Fistral Beach. There's something about packing a bikini and Wellington boots - and I'm away.”
