My mum was working in London, so I went to school there until I was 12. But every holiday would be in Scotland, and when I went to boarding school, I'd either be there or Scotland.

My instinct is to surround myself with the company of wise, witty, wonderful women, and I have a great bank of female friends of all ages.

Not to harp on too much about Ma, but it's a misconception that she is formidable. She calls herself a patsy.

I remember typing up my dissertation sitting in a horse box - I didn't qualify for a caravan - on a set in Pinewood on my first film, 'Still Crazy.'

I can't think of anything better than being considered a poster girl for intelligent women.

I'm not really Bond girl material, and that's fine by me. I'm a grafter; I'm not a star.

I take pleasure in discovering resourcefulness inside me.

If you've got 15 actors on stage who are all trying to shine a light on themselves, they are all trying to outshine each other. Whereas if you have 14 of those actors trying to shine a light on one person, and each of them is trying to make the other look good, you have a much more interesting process.

I was always drawn to standing up in front of people.

The theatre always felt like home, and it does to this day. When I do screen acting, I miss telling a story from beginning to end, as you do nightly on stage. I love that relationship with the audience and how it changes each night.
