- Jack wasn't my type at all. I thought he was too young and too posh and I told him that. Plus, I couldn't deal with his dodgy bowl-cut. But he wore me down. - On husband Jack Davenport
- I was trying to explain that this is actually a proper job but just feeling terribly ridiculous as real doctors and real patients were wheeled past. There are moments when you think what am I doing with my life? - On filming "Green Wing" in a real hospital.
- I'm a Doctor Who (2005) fan and I realise what it meant to change the Master to a Mistress. It was a massive deal, but I didn't want to think about it too deeply. The gender thing doesn't seem an issue at all, which surprised me.
- [in 2015] Lots of actresses disappear by the time they're my age. So far, I've bucked the trend. I haven't got sucked into that 26-episode run of something like Casualty. Thankfully, my face has stopped that happening. It's not something you want to see every week on TV! I'm theatrical saffron in that way - just a light sprinkling of me here and there...
- [stand up] So this personal trainer says it's time to check my BMI. What's my BMI? It's Body Mass Index, that tells me how much fat you have in your body, measure and weigh you. Whoa! Look at the scale. And I can see it- and she gets this device and measures all the jiggly bits, you know, you wouldn't want to see jumping up and down in front of a mirror. Not my toned bits. And I said I've just had a baby and she says well that's a baby but there's no excuse and the computer never lies. So what's a good BMI? Anything from 17 to 24. What's mine? 35. And as you can see, you're in the red. You're obese. So you're going to have to make some changes. And I said, yes, I will make some changes. You.
- I was blessed with this face. I was born to play witches and bitches until the day I die with this kind of structure.
