Would I describe myself as new Labour? I'm Labour, organised Labour. I think labels have a limited use and that's where you really get into boy stuff sometimes, just sticking on labels.

You just wish sometimes that people would treat you like a human being rather than seeing your gender first and who you are second.

I worry that some politicians still think we are living in the 1950s where the man is the main breadwinner and the woman works for pin money. Actually, most families where there are two parents depend on two incomes to get by.

I think I'm slightly impulsive, sometimes organised and always in search of a bargain!

I think we can all use a little more patience. I get a little impatient sometimes and I wish I didn't. I really need to be more patient.

I didn't go out of my way to get into this movie stuff. I think of myself as a writer.
