Keeley Hawes

I am not into action and adventure on holiday; that doesn't really do it for me. I would much rather go and lie down.

I've stopped worrying about whether people think what I do is any good. I've taken stick in the past, and I've genuinely worried and got incredibly upset.

If I was ambitious in my career, then I would have moved to the United States and given it a good go at films.

Ashes To Ashes' is a victim of its own success. We started lots of trends. I like to think we had something to do with bringing back the high waist. It's so much more flattering.

I prefer watching movies on the sofa rather than sitting next to Bob Geldof at a premiere and wanting to kill yourself.

I'm a size 12 and I'm very happy with it.

I worked in McDonald's, but I didn't mind it. You got free cheeseburgers. I love eating a bit of junk food.

I love washing, hoovering, ironing, you name it. I find it very therapeutic.

I love fashion; I adore it. I love the madness of it.

I happen to know there is nothing sexy or romantic about love scenes. They are just awful to do.

I do love playing aristocrats, probably because it's so against type. So much more interesting than playing a version of yourself.

I don't punish myself. Life's too short.
