“A lot of first-time mothers worry about how they will cope. But I'm more patient than I thought I would be even though there are good days and bad days.”

“I used to be nervous about not working and so would work for the sake of it.”

“Spending time away from family during filming, I think, for every working mum is always difficult. But it has to be done; there's no way round it you've just got to do it.”

“I have made lots of mistakes. I have had many bad days. I have hurt people and myself.”

“Juggling work and parental responsibilities is no easy task, but I'm trying my best and just like everything else there are good days and there are bad days.”

“You choose to be happy, and in life we have as many good days as bad days. I try to find and record those songs that pull you through the bad days, and keep you believing that the good days are just around the corner.”
