SADIE FROST

My style is scruffy with a touch of androgyny.

I don't allow meat in my house or in my oven. My whole family is vegetarian - and although I've given my kids the choice to order meat at a restaurant when they reach five, they're not interested.

When I had my first boy it all started and that male energy seemed to keep me awake but since my daughter, who's incredibly serene, I can't seem to stop sleeping because she's asleep all the time. It's a pattern.

My parents are from Manchester but I was brought up in London, Camden Town.

When you love someone so much that you are in pain when you are apart it ends up being destructive. I never want to be in that place again.

At home it's all Batman and Star Wars and they do gang up on me. Sometimes I don't want to dress up as Darth Vader or play train sets, so I'll go out for a drink with the girls.

I haven't done an international film for a long time.

There are people out there who want me to fail, who want Jude to fail, who want our relationship to fail.

I'm a strong woman.

Having money has given me a certain freedom, but being in the public eye has taken away a lot.

I'm always the girl at the party who, within five minutes, has taken my heels off, hitched up my dress in my knickers, and probably spilt drink down my cleavage.

From 16 years old, I wanted to have a baby, that's all I wanted.

I don't like it when people don't act on their words.

I've never worn fur, either. I'm a naturally squeamish person, and fur smells like dead animal to me.

I always wear flat shoes, because I can't walk in anything else.

My childhood was colorfully anarchic and punctuated by a lot of change.

I've never got into debt and I've always been in control of my taxes and VAT, but having four children costs a lot. They are my weakness.

I never thought I'd spend all my life with Gary. I suppose I was quite cynical about marriage. But with Jude, I knew right from the beginning: there was an electricity I'd never felt before. It was so easy, we talked for hours. It was a relief, really.

I was a very defiant child, and my father encouraged that. He wanted me to be as wild and creative as possible and didn't believe in disciplining children.

I'm playing a very strong character, it's the story of the woman Polish Jews out of the Warsaw ghetto. I've just begun my weapons training and the SAS type training that's getting me fit.

I was the eldest daughter with these four beautiful younger sisters with ringlets and pretty faces, and I used to dress them up in Victorian clothes and take them out for the day and pretend they were mine.

I really fought to make my character not a stereotype. I play a soap star with dyed blonde hair.

My father was a painter and an anarchist, always getting in trouble for his performance art.

It is so important that you don't stay with someone just for the children and for the wrong reasons.

I want to get up at 6 A.M. and go swimming and do 30 lengths.
