Personal Quotes

"'Complicity' is risque, but I'm not bothered by such things. I watched 'Robocop' the other night and it was full of gratuitous violence. I would rather see gratuitous sex."

"Coming from a family where the parents had been together for 40 years, you never imagine that divorce is going to happen to you."

"I was sent the DVD of me in "ShakespeaRe-Told: Macbeth (#1.2)" (2005), and there was this big, dramatic moment and I was thinking, this is looking good, and Myles came in and said, "Oh, Mummy, when are you going to do something good like Madagascar (2005)?"".

"I've nothing against stay-at-home mums, but I love going to work, I love what I do and I wouldn't want to start resenting my home life if I was staying home 365 days a year."

"Well, I think if you do a lot of interviews, you're laying yourself open. If you put yourself out, accept every invitation to every premiere, then you can't really complain when people knock on your front door and photograph you in the street. With Matthew and Pride & Prejudice (2005), the whole thing was huge, but even then, we haven't been followed around that much. Hopefully that's because we keep ourselves to ourselves."

Where Are They Now

(January 2004) Will be filming the new series "Spooks" (2002) in January 2004.

(May 2006) Announced her 2nd pregnancy with husband Matthew Macfadyen, due in September, 2006.
