I loved my time growing up in Northern Ireland doing youth drama, that is where it all began for me.

When I was growing up, Belfast City Hall was surrounded by security, and we had no access to it. But now, people come in and out of it all the time. On a nice day, office workers and students sit on the lawn outside and have lunch. It's great to see how Northern Ireland has changed. To be part of that is fantastic.

I get an awful lot of people coming up and saying they went to school with me. There must have been 80,000 pupils at that school!

In my life, I have made the occasional catastrophic choice, and it's just a case of moving on and learning from it.

The Skakel family, when they married into the Kennedys, was so wealthy, they could have purchased the Kennedy family.

I became completely obsessed with the Royal family, or at least the psychology behind them.

My husband and I are big givers to charity, and we are teaching our son Barron all about giving his old toys away to children who might not have any.

Because I was very big and she was very small, my mother had a horrible birth when I was born. So she always said: 'I'm never having any more kids!'
