“The only time I ever spend alone is when I am working or when my husba...” — Helen McCrory Quote

The only time I ever spend alone is when I am working or when my husband is away filming. I put the kids to bed and have an hour and a half in the evening for myself.

People are not considerate of others. They tend not to consider themselves as all living together, but see themselves only as individuals.

I think I was brought up with an innate sense of responsibility because my dad was in the Foreign Office where you were in somebody else's country, and you were aware of your behaviour. And my mum worked for the NHS, so you were aware of your responsibility to your country.

I spent my teenage years in Paris when my dad was stationed there, and I'd look at women in their forties and think, 'That's the age I want to be.'

When I was a teenager, I did a lot of pull-ups and push-ups. Every night before bed, I'd do 150 - in sets of 30 or so. Looking back on it now, I'm not totally sure that's the best way to improve as a climber. But it did make me a lot better at doing pull-ups and push-ups.

I'm absolutely strict about it. When I land, I put my watch right, and I don't care what I feel like, I will go to bed at half past eleven. If that means going to bed early or late, that's what I live by. As soon as you get there, live by that time.

Back in the '60s, when I did the 'Carol Burnett Show,' we did a 'Honeymooners' sketch. You couldn't even be in the same bed. You had to have twin beds and you had to have one foot on the floor.

Every night I go to bed early and I wake up early so that I can walk.
