I ski every three years or so. I don't have the ingrained confidence that others do, but I'll happily toddle about a green or blue run.
To keep my back from getting stiff, I have a strict regime every morning of stretching and do yoga once a week and Pilates. 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2008 was great for my fitness.
I've been a single parent for a long time. It reminds me of being a waitress. As you walk back to the kitchen, requests come at you from all sides. You're doing the job of two - you have to be highly organised.
I just want a quiet life. I think that's what everybody says when they get older.
I've got an overactive, analytical brain. I get frustrated, impatient, angry with myself. I swear at myself a lot.
Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, the higher your profile, the more castable you are in TV dramas.
I'm lucky to have very good genes. My mother was so tiny she was almost bird-like, and my father was tall and lean. Both lived until their early 80s.
I didn't get attached to Botox. It is costly, and you have to remember to keep doing it.
I really enjoyed staying at an encampment at the top of a hill in the Samburu Reserve in Kenya. You reach it on a small plane; there is no electricity, no city noises and you sleep and shower under the Milky Way, with moths fluttering around a kerosene lamp, knowing that there are elephants and lions roaming free in the valley.
I think being raised by a single mother put me on the outside, and I would watch my mothers married friends and think, Why does she put him down in public? or, Why is he so rude to her? It seemed to me that there were very few marriages where the couple were genuinely in a supportive, loving partnership.
I can honestly say I love getting older. Then again, I never put my glasses on before looking in the mirror.
I'd like to break some new ground, maybe in TV presenting, rather than just be an actress.
I've never felt the need to be defined by a man.
Im mad keen on recycling because Im worried about the next generation and where all this waste were producing is going. It has to stop. I wash out my plastic containers and recycle envelopes, everything I possibly can.
It's a bit of a headache being a perfectionist. You're never satisfied.
Sadly, the timing's never been right. There have been men who would have married me but I didn't feel the same, and vice versa.
People ask me how I manage without a man in the same tone they might ask someone how they're doing with just one lung, but it's not like that at all.
