Model

I make jam, and oh my God, it is so delicious.

I was really, really star-struck when I met Prince.

If the plane lost all my luggage, and I was somewhere sunny like Ibiza, I would just get a bikini, shorts, T-shirt, and sandals. If it was somewhere colder like New York, I'd go for jeans, jacket, and a pair of Louboutins.

I thought it was quite vain to say, I want to be a model.

It was kind of boring for me to have to eat. I would know that I had to, and I would.

People don't hear me talk. They don't expect me to.

Actors do like watching girls parade down the runway for some reason.

I love the Sixties with Julie Christie and Jane Birkin - those natural English beauties. That's the look that is most me, when I wore the tight-to-the knee dresses. I don't think I bleached my hair until I was 20. I like experimenting for big occasions, though. You've always got to do a bit of a number for the birthday!

I am so romantic about Gypsies. They're not allowed to do anything until they get married. So they all get married really young, at sixteen.

I cut up loads. I always want everything shorter, shorter, shorter.

I have made some of the best friends that I've got in this business.

People that don't know me get 'Mossed'. It means, I was gonna go home, but then I just got led astray. In the best possible way, of course. I mean, it's always fun, and a good time.

If I'm going to work, I put black jeans on, a T-shirt, a shirt, and a jacket.

Even if I wore a hat and a wig, you can always tell it's me.

Every season, I'm like, 'Who knows if I'm going to get another job?'

I've met Bob Dylan. We did one of those non-handshake handshakes. I was with all guys, and he shook hands with all of them, and then they said, 'And this is Kate,' and I put my hand out, and he didn't put his out. And then I took my hand away, and he put his out. It was one of those. We finally did shake. And then I fainted!

When people see an actor speak, they think they know him or her, whereas I'm just a face or a body to them.

My signature jam is damson or quince, and it's called 'Kate's Sweet and Sticky'. Basically, I'm a domestic goddess.

You go to a show, and there's no food at all, so if you're doing shows back to back, you can forget eating. I remember standing up in the bath one day, and there was a mirror in front of me, and I was so thin! I hated it. I never liked being that skinny.

I love the Royal Family. The Queen, she's fabulous.
