- I keep thinking, 'when will it all blow up? When will the luck or whatever it is run out?' Then there is the fear that there is someone behind me asking, 'Who does she think she is?' So I'm waiting you might say. Waiting for the jinx and trying not to feel too lucky.
- I am a clever girl, so if there was something else I could do, I would.
- It was horrendous after I appeared in Tipping the Velvet (2002) - I didn't work for eight months because I kept being sent scripts, the details of which I'll spare you.
