I've always been an actor. That's my job — I can be anything you want me to be.

It's not that I'm using my life to put on screen or in my acting, it's that, when you're living in the world, you're exposed to stories, to people, to things that feel foreign and unfamiliar. And I'm curious about those things, me personally.

As a working mother high heels don't really fit into my life anymore - but in a totally wonderful way. I would much rather think about my son than myself.

James Wilkie is so conscious of the time we spend together. I try to be home to tuck him in at least four nights a week, and if I'm not, he's not letting me get away with anything.
