When I'm Working, It's Those

I Was So Completely Anxious Before I Had A Child, But Now My Biggest Worry Is Something Happening To Her, So Anything Other Than That I Can Handle. That's Not To Say I'm Calm, Because That Would Be B****cks! I Wish It Were The Case, But It's Getting Better As I Get Older.

In Hollywood I Got Work But Not The Right Work Until Pushing Daisies. Every Girl In La Wanted The Part Of Chuck. I Was Terrified - I Didn't Know If I Could Be Funny.

I'd Like To Put The Record Straight About That. I've Been Labelled An Irresponsible Role Model For Young Mothers, But None Of It Is True. I Couldn't Even Walk For Two Weeks After The Birth, Let Alone Exercise. I Ate Very Healthily All The Way Through My Pregnancy And Afterwards. I Didn't Do Anything Extreme.

And The Most Important Thing - Apart From Telling A Good, Believable Story, And Being A True Character - Is To Be Someone The Audience Will Care About, Even If You're Playing A Murderer Or Rapist.

I've Been On Sets Where The Turnaround Is So Fast And The Budget So Small That The Actors Have Been Asked To Speed Things Up And Save Money By Changing In The Public Toilets. There's No Room For Vanity At Times Like That. It's The Best Way: Get On With It!
