I gather from a lawyer that there was a rehearsal yesterday. We haven't a hope. I know the presiding judge too: I've had the misfortune to sleep with his wife. He was specially picked.

I love the Beatles. I haven't named any kids after them but I still really love them. They were the first group that I was ever properly aware of. In my early teens I would sometimes stay in and listen to the radio all day in the hope that I would catch a song by them that I'd never heard before and be able to tape it on my radio-cassette player.

The other day I got a text from a boy but it wasn't hot. I mean if you're going to text me every day you haven't seen me for months and you're trying to seduce me you'd better spice up that text and make it more exciting than 'How was your day? I hope you're having a beautiful one.' Sadly I haven't been doing a lot of kissing lately.

Right now a lot of people are still choosing to go to Toronto instead of shooting in New York City something I haven't done and something I hope I'll never have to do.

My divorce came to me as a complete surprise. That's what happens when you haven't been home in eighteen years.

But inspiration? - That's when you come home from abroad and are asked: Well have you found inspiration? - and fortunately you haven't. But the impressions sink in of course and may emerge later: None of us has invented the house that was done many thousands of years ago.

When I was at home I felt loved and safe. My sisters were always a safe haven for me. I knew they would always play with me and make me feel like I was one of them.

I go home and don't get treated any differently. People have known me all my life and are interested and very supportive but because they have known me forever I don't get any diva treatment. My mum still tells me off if I haven't loaded the dishwasher for her.

Entertainers are there to entertain. They aren't there to teach your children the lessons that you haven't bothered to teach them at home yourself.

There's always a part of your nation's history that you haven't been told that... has a powerful impact on how you yourself may behave and may believe.
