I got a divorce eleven years later on the grounds of cruelty, which is still not easy in England.

The corsets I wore in The Railway Children are still in my undies drawer, a prized relic of my favourite film.

I had promised my husband never to accept another engagement. It was hard. It was not a very happy time for me.

I looked at films as a career from necessity but all I have really wanted is my home and children. The two things just do not work out together when one has to leave home at 5.30 am in the morning to go to the studio.

I've had a very strange life. Whenever I've married, I've married for life. But things have gone desperately wrong.

Two of the central ingredients to our family are food and faith, so sitting down together and thanking God for the food He's provided means everything to us. Prayer is a natural part of our lives - not only around the dinner table, but all day long.

In parts of Montana, salt concentrations in soil water, have reached those double those of seawater.

The game is just one long conversation, and I'm anticipating that, and I will say things like 'Did you know that?' or 'You're probably wondering why.' I'm really just conversing rather than just doing play-by-play. I never thought of myself as having a style. I don't use key words. And the best thing I do? I shut up.

No matter how many awards you've won or how many sales you've got, come the next book it's still a blank sheet of paper and you're still panicking like hell that you've got nothing new to say.

Maybe I'm too masculine. Casting directors cast in their own, or an idealized image. Maybe I don't look like anybody's ideal.

Apologies aren’t meant to change the past, they are meant to change the future.

It's really about, oh come on, this guy wouldn't say that or he wouldn't do that, you know, it's about the characters, about the story, about the situation.
