Ayda Field

What I want in my career is different to what I wanted when I was 21. It's got to be something that keeps my family together, that allows me to be present in their lives. ”

For years, I was 'just' a stay at home mum and wife - which, by the way, is harder than any other job I've ever had. ”

I had this career and then I was working and then I met Rob and then I kind of went off and got married and had kids, and in that process, which was amazing and fantastic, I lost my confidence as an actress and as a working woman. ”

We've got eight dogs, a cat, a turtle, kids... yeah we have a lot of dogs. It's a lot of fur, it's a lot of poop... and that's not even counting Robbie. He's the hairiest most feral animal of all. ”

Listen, my dad left me, my mom is crazy, I'm from L.A., a pop star dumped me three times and I'm an actress who gets rejected constantly. ”

Being parents suits us. Having kids has been the best thing for both of us. ”

I've never really minded being Mrs. Robbie Williams because my ego is relatively small, but it is really nice now that people know there is something else there besides that. ”

I'm just very talky, as you can imagine. ”

I didn't know what it would be like being on 'X Factor' with my husband. It's surpassed everything I could have expected. ”

I have to audition for everything; there is no Mrs. Robbie Williams free pass, and because I'm working with British actors everyone is so polite - no one mentions Robbie. ”
