00:00I don't want people around in my life who I wouldn't consider right or bad.
00:04Absolutely beautiful. How are you doing?
00:07Enjoying London?
00:08Well, I got here last night, so not yet, but I always enjoy London,
00:13so I can't anticipate any problem where I wouldn't.
00:15So did the friendship come off screen as well as being on screen with our beautiful...
00:19Well, you know what? Our job is to make you believe that it does.
00:23You know what? We bonded immediately when we met.
00:27Shall I hold it?
00:28Yeah, hold it.

00:33She's wonderful, isn't she? Absolutely wonderful.
00:35So what about, you have the one in your life in regards to love.
00:39Do you think it's just as important to have your ride or die in your friendships as well?
00:44You know what? I don't want people around in my life who I wouldn't consider right or bad.
00:49You know, people who would be there for me in a challenging moment.
00:53So I don't really care.
00:55Yeah, I only want people who care.
00:58Your diehards are the ones that do.
01:00Do you think friendships got difficult as you've got older or easier?
01:03Okay.
01:04No, they only get easier because the people that remain in your life are the ones that you want.
01:10So when you first got the big roles back in the day, was there someone that you always called, that
01:15always gave you the pet talk and gave you a little bit of a, my whole village, my whole village.
01:20You know, I'm a very blessed woman to have people in my life that I consider in right or die.
01:26And what do you think the secret is to her amazing friendship?
01:29Amazing.
01:29Trust, loyalty, humor, love, commitment, all of the things that, you know, a good relationship requires.
01:41And our Hannah, exactly, and our Hannah is a wonderful Brit.
01:44Did she teach you any sayings or was there anything that she said that you were like, what?
01:49Always.
01:51Oh, well, I don't know if it's bad.
01:53I don't know.
01:54So I probably won't say it.
01:55Say it.
01:56No, no.
01:57I don't know.
01:59I hope you taught me how to have fish and chips and, you know, jelly and eels.
02:03I love fish and chips.
02:05Love it.
02:06Thank you very much indeed.
02:06Well done for the extra pain for the table.
