As a woman, it's nice to hear people at the stage door say, 'I didn't even know! She's a woman, and that's the most amazing thing'.
My grandfather had two boys, my uncle had three boys, my dad had me and my two brothers, each of my brothers have had two boys. Then something happened with the chromosomal experiment and suddenly I've got three girls.
Mary had a little sheep, With the sheep she went to sleep. The sheep turned out to be a ram, And Mary had a little lamb.
I have five children. There were four boys. The fifth, I got weak, and a girl came.
I think I was born because my parents had two boys and wanted to give it one more go and try for a girl... they got me instead.
I was absolutely astonished by an onslaught of comments expressing their absolute shock that IFLS is run by a woman.
We thought we were going to have a girl, so we had 15 girls' names lined up and a little boy popped out. We had no idea, and we had hardly any boys' names.
My mom wasn't expecting me to end up how I ended up. When she wanted to have kids, she wanted to have two girls, and then she got my brother and me. Which is a disappointment to anybody. You can't help it.
I always wanted a girl growing up, as well as a boy, so to have a girl first is just really exciting.
