I despise shows that present friendship where you're always there for each other and really strong because I don't know anyone like that. I mean, I've got great friends, but I can go months without seeing them because I think, 'I just can't deal with having to give you anything.'

I'm the person who will go to a wedding and switch the place cards around because I don't want to sit next to someone I don't know, because I'm so bad at chatting to strangers.

I never used to see anything on TV where the man was in the weaker position. It was always the female showing emotion, breaking down, being emotionally torn apart by men.

I'll cry anywhere because I can do it quite subtly. Walking, that's a good time to have a cry.

You feel you can pretend to be young until you're 50, but after that, what happens and how do you approach it?

I always, always want to make people laugh. In every situation. Even when it's inappropriate.
