Anna Chancellor

I'm crazy about ducks and swans and geese, so I don't eat foie gras. I try to eat organic.

I can cook to please people, but it's quite conventional. I make a good sponge cake. I find it hard to follow recipes.

I love buying things. I could be one of those crazy hoarders.

I love 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and 'Extras' and also 'The Trip.' That had all the nuances of friendship and finding things out about their lives without it being too much plot-driven.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
