I still consider myself working class. I know my circumstances have changed dramatically since I was growing up back in Birkenhead.

I was Popeye mad when I was a kid, and I'd eat spinach until the cows came home.

I like working with kids; they keep you going.

I don't go for glamour roles.

The love, support, and respect the members of the theater community have for one another is unparalleled. Say what you want about us wacky drama-types, but one thing that makes our business special is our loyalty, our fierce commitment to one another, and our mutual respect.

I give the worst possible relationship advice to people. I am not ashamed.

Marriage and being a mother are absolutely crucial to my happiness and my life.

It's the same girl-who-has-everything story. You know, the one where she's insecure and scared and unhappy and has marriage problems and doesn't know how to handle stardom and screws up right and left and gets in with the wrong people and goes down the drain.
