Many roads to take some to joy some to heart ache.
Everyone can commit to 20 minutes, especially if there’s a glass of Chardonnay afterwards.
I find it very difficult to wear nice, pretty shoes. I’m much more comfortable in boots or Birkenstocks or loafers.
Ah, my dad’s whistle. On holidays when I was a kid, we would all be off in the rock pools along the beach. When it came time to go, we’d hear the whistle and we’d all come running. Like dogs!
I’ve decided I am going to start loving my backside because I don’t know anyone who does that. And for my daughter, I want to be able to say to her, ‘I love this.’
I think of myself as a mum who finds the time to go to work. I have to check myself for baby sick before I walk out of the house in the morning. I am really a mum I know I am a great mother.
I would never accept a role that wasn’t going to stretch me or challenge me in some way. I’d say Holy Smoke! probably did that more than anything I’d ever done. It took me to places I didn’t actually know I could go to, and that’s what I want my career to be all about.
One of the reasons I’ve never done intensive psychotherapy or any of that stuff is that if there’s anything in me that needs fixing, I want to know that I can rely on my own intuition to fix it.
That’s the main reason I took it up But I do feel I don’t know part of, I suppose, my way out of everything, has been really taking care of myself. I think that comes from an awareness that my children really need me, and they need me to be the healthiest version of myself that I can possibly be.
I’m not the kind of person who’s going to look at the top of a mountain and go, ‘Oh, look at that! That’s lovely. That’s lovely, that top of that mountain.’ I’m the kind of person who’s going to go, ‘Oh, my God! That’s so lovely! Let’s go climb up it!’
My husband is not a jealous person in any way.
I think I look nicer now. It’s really weird cause when you’re 21 you think, “Oh God, when I’m 36, oh God, that’s nearly 40, and I’ll look really old and wrinkly by then”. And actually I quite like the way I look. I feel OK about myself these days.
I’d like to grow old with my face moving.
A good eye cream is really important when you are traveling, busy and stressed-that’s when the dark puffy circles can get you.
I just look better in simple black things.
I’m often drawn to characters that are more obviously one thing. They’re passionate, and there is always an element of strength because I think every person possesses that in some way, even if they’ve experienced hardship in their lives.
He’s probably the world’s most beautiful looking man, yet he doesn’t think he’s that gorgeous. And to me, he’s just smelly, farty Leo.
You know why I fear people’s judgment? Because I know they’re judging. I know they are.
I’m a normal human being. I don’t have any desire to change my body as a result of having had two kids. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?
The whole concept of ‘grounding’ children is utterly stupid – they just go off and rebel and don’t like you. When my kids eventually come along, I don’t want them to not like me.
