I Live Quite An Unsettled Life.

There's Still A Bit Of A Problem, In That So Many Leading English Roles Are Taken By American Or French Actresses.

So Finally, I Can Feel A Sort Of Pride In All My Family - Mum, Lynn, Corin, Tasha, My Cousin Gemma - Because, I Think How Wonderful That This Troop Of Gypsies Can Carry On Telling Stories.

Everyone Knows In The Industry That When These Great Roles Come Up, Every Two Years, There's A Huge Number Of People Up For Them. I'm Not One Of Those Top Five Females That Can Personally Finance Any Film.

Ok, I Wasn't As Successful As, Say, Julia Roberts, But I'd Spent Years In A Very Respectable Career, Some Big American Films But A Host Of Other Smaller, Really Exciting, Maybe Experimental Films, Being Paid Rubbish But Working With Fine People, That Was What I Thought I Was Known For.

The Early Part Of My Career I Really Struggled, Getting Turned Down Again And Again. I Was In Debt, And It Was Horrible. And Then My Family Hit Such Highs In Their Careers, I Asked Myself What I Was Thinking Going Into The Same Profession.
