Music really influenced me when I was growing up. I did go through a Jimi Hendrix phase. My hair was naturally quite afro, and I wore low-slung jeans with very high heels. Siouxsie and the Banshees had a lot to answer for. I was in a top hat with peacock feathers and thigh-high black boots. I was 17 -- old enough to know better.

My parents were always very encouraging. I never felt unloved. They gave me great stability. I think that is why I am so relaxed as a parent myself; they gave me a great blueprint. Besides, parenthood is only a seven-day-a-week job and apparently in 18 years you can stop worrying so much. I'll have a nice nap and a shandy then.

Being married to someone who is also an actor gives you a shorthand about your job -- makes it easier to relate. Also, you know the realities. Some people think acting is all about laughing as you sip champagne from a slipper at a premiere. But actually most of it is unglamorous.

Actors and actresses have sensitivity bludgeoned out of them at birth. We are that rare combination of vanity and self-obsession. Actually, I don't know about Damian, but I do get nervous, especially when speaking in public without a script. I had to present the prizes for an under-12s poetry-reading once. I was performing in three plays at the Olivier Theatre, back to back, 17 hours with no nerves whatsoever, but I stood up to say a few words and my voice wavered and I became self-conscious. ... My trouble is I make no connection between myself and what I do on stage or in front of a camera, so when I am being myself I get very, very nervous and take tranquillisers.

I did have a honeymoon. It lasted an evening. It was very short, but very lovely. We got married in the Kensington and Chelsea registry office, then walked down the King's Road and had lunch in a nice restaurant around the corner with 11 people. A very romantic day.

I learnt that in England, as soon as you open your mouth you are judged. In Italy it's all largely about your shoes, and in France it's what school you went to. From an early age I learnt to adapt and to live in the moment because you can't hanker after your past.

I was at a dinner party recently where people were discussing The Queen and most of them had no idea I was in it. I didn't tell them. I thought that finding out what they felt about the film was far more interesting than the fact I was in it.
