Personal Quotes
But the thing is - and this is something that really annoys me - a lot of people mistake lightness for stupidity. If you're cold and mean and dark, you're smart. If you're sweet and charming and you get on with people, then you're not. Then, you're ... bubbly.
I am a light person. I think of myself with a shield, a protective shield around me. And I think of bad things bouncing off it. Boom, boom, boom, ba-boom, ba- boom!
"I got a lot of, 'This bloody bitch - she only got the job because of what she looks like.'" -as quoted in the Sept 2002 issue of Playboy
[on potential boyfriends] Someone who's down to earth, funny, good in bed, handsome. Actually, just handsome will do. I'm really shallow at the moment. I'm at that age when I just don't want anything challenging. I haven't got the energy. As long as they're cute, I'm there. And the less they have to say for themselves, the better.
on winning a scholarship to drama school] It was amazing. Amazing! I was from a comprehensive tough school, you know, and then going into London and all the girls are all jazz hands and kiss-kissy, and Darling sweetie, darling. It was such a contrast, and it took a while for me to adjust and fit in. But within six months I was all jazzy and kiss and smiley. I became a stage-school brat very quick.
[on stripping off for the stage play Calender Girls] "The getting naked is the easy bit. I'll make sure I have to get naked in every contract. [laughs] In Calendar Girls I'm working with some fantastic women. We cover ourselves with various props, but obviously there are a couple of slips now and then! Danny is cool with it, he came on the first night and he loved it. But he did tell me: 'You need to slow down because you talk too quickly'. I was so nervous the first night, so he gave me constructive criticism."
