I had one nanny who made me sit in front of a bowl of porridge for three or four days running when I refused to eat it. I remember being very unhappy about that.

One press account said I was an overnight success. I thought that was the longest night I've ever spent.

I play every show like it's my last. Fortunately, that's never turned out to be the case.

I always quit at three when my kids come home from school so I feel pretty spoiled.

I was quite the spoiled brat. I have quite a temper, obviously inherited from my father, and I became very good at ordering everyone around. I was the princess; the staff were absolutely terrified of me.

I never starved myself.

I left home because I was hungry.

I took a lot of time off after Mobsters and although I did something I had never done before, which was to direct a play, The Laughter Epidemic, it felt like a vacation.

Some say I'm an overnight success. Well, that was a very long night that lasted about 10 years.
