I should get a few ribs taken out, because I'll be in a corset for the rest of my life.

I wish I could play puppets the rest of my life, ... You don't have to worry about hair and make-up. You're not trapped by your envelope.

My life had been very work-orientated, and all in close-up. Once I had the family, it went into sudden widescreen.

People say, 'You're still breast-feeding, that's so generous.' Generous, no! It gives me boobs and it takes my thighs away! It's sort of like natural liposuction. I'd carry on breast-feeding for the rest of my life if I could.

There is no normality in life.

I enjoy those small chats you have when people come up and talk to you about your work. It only involves a few seconds of effort to be nice to those people, and I am very grateful for the kind words that people have taken the trouble to express to me in person.
