Awards season is always a huge amount of fun whether you're a part of it or not. It's always really exciting seeing what films are coming and a lot of new talent as well.

The growing-up-fast part weirdly happened between the ages of 15 and 22.

Mum and Dad were very much friends and up for life. There was no anxiety for anything when I was growing up; they just taught me to be me.

Growing up, I had a very happy childhood, with two parents who are still very much together.

My kids know I'm home every night for dinner.

My father was an army officer who left the forces when I was six and never really fitted back into civilian life. My mother had five children and a mother with Alzheimer's, who lived with us, so I imagined that she had a lot to do.

I learned that life is about the people around you and the people you give back to. That's what parenting is: You're not there for yourself; you're there for your offspring and everyone else around you.

My mother was a working woman, and I was alone a lot. So I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom.
