When you're younger, being a redhead is... Well, my two brothers teased me no end.

I always liked Elvis Presley when I was younger - I told anyone who would listen that I was going to marry that man. I did'nt realise then that he had died.

When I was young, I was teased mercilessly by my classmates for being a redhead. I wasn't particularly well coordinated either, which made me a bit of a liability in P.E.

I'm happy with the idea of being a mum first and an actress second - I'm perfectly content for people to think of me as a stay-at-home mum, rather than an actress, if that is their perception.

Anytime anyone compliments me on my figure, I'm wearing my Spanx undies.

I auditioned for a movie recently, and when I went in, the producer said he'd told one of its stars, Naomi Watts, that he was auditioning me, and she'd said, 'She's so funny; she's a great actress - you should hire her.' What a lovely, kind, and supportive thing to do for another woman.
