Don't believe everything you think - or feel.
From Anna Chancellor
I went for endless auditions for tiny parts in obscure plays, and never got one job until I was in 'Four Weddings'.
I was brought up with two sisters, so I do know about a three-way dynamic. It's a complex one, because it's easy for one to get left out and the others to gang up. In my family, we were all pretty up for it, but the dynamics would constantly change.
I do try and curb my mouth, but I find it really hard. I wonder how many jobs I've talked myself out of!
I did become quite well known from 'Four Weddings and a Funeral', and it helped hugely. I wasn't as famous as Hugh Grant, but I certainly began to work.
There's a certain amount of self-aggrandising with actors, and I'm terribly shy of that.
I love buying things. I could be one of those crazy hoarders.
Some people in my family achieved a lot, some people inherited a lot. But I turned my back on the whole thing.
My parents had four children quickly, divorced quickly - when I was two - and my mother remarried quickly. We were suddenly in a different environment with a different father.
I was never, ever the ingenue. The young, innocent lead was just not me.
