ace cafe gallery great holidays king knows loathe structure taking
My father was king of the guidebooks and our holidays were always planned, taking us from a great gallery to an ace cafe to a beautiful view. And as an actor, I loathe improvisation because there's no structure and no one knows what's going on.
play different roles
When the Hollywood thing happened, I thought at some point I'd get to the front of the queue: 'Yes, hello, I'd like to play that role.' But you don't. You just join a different queue.
christmas husband week
The best Christmas present I got from my husband was a week to do whatever I wanted.
mother memories father
Family holidays and weekends are really brightly colored memories, full of my mother and father, rather than our nannies and au pairs.
wrinkles getting-older skins
My skin may have wrinkles but it's because I'm smiling so much. That might sound like some terrible American greetings card, but I feel it's immoral for me to castigate my body for getting older, when it does everything I ask of it.
art children careers
My parents taught me everything and set me up for life. I owe to them all the things I'm passionate about: music, art, the people I love, my career and family life, the fact that I have children and the way that I raise them.
way pressure projects
I don't feel under pressure to work because I love what I do and I wanted to do the projects that came my way.
kissing three lucky
I've been lucky enough to kiss three James Bonds on screen: Pierce Brosnan, George Lazenby and Daniel Craig.
husband father character
My husband Rhashan reminds me of my father because he's got great strength of character.
parent supportive surrogates
My parents have always been cool. They even became surrogates to friends of mine who didn't have such supportive parents.
long parent happy-marriage
My parents' long and happy marriage was a great ideal to live up to, but a tough one.
fun worry age
From a very young age, I wanted to get up on stage whenever I went to the theatre - the actors just seemed to be having so much fun. One of my worries about theatre, in fact, is that the actors are quite often having more fun than the audience.
