00:00Oh, my favourite interviewee of all time is probably Michelle Pfeiffer.
00:04And this is why, because I often think it's about expectations.
00:08So before I went in, I thought, oh, she looks very beautiful.
00:11She's probably going to be a bit annoying, bet she doesn't eat a lot.
00:16I was completely unfair.
00:19Anyway, I met her, she's a total laugh.
00:21She's hilarious.
00:22When I'm away from my kids and I'm working, I just call all the time.
00:26I call my mum all the time.
00:28I go, what have they done now?
00:29And she goes, they're doing exactly the same thing as they were three minutes ago.
00:32I go, okay, I'm with you.
00:36And I take ten with twinings.
00:38I literally sit down, have a cup of tea, relax.
00:41Because once you're at home and you've got the kids, then there's no relaxing.
00:44There's mayhem.
00:45One's on my shoulder.
00:46I'm trying to make a doll's house out of vegetables.
00:49The other one needs feeding.
00:50So if I am away from them for work, then I try and relax.
00:54This is how I feel about turning 40.
00:56I have been waiting my whole life to be 40.
00:59In fact, don't tell anyone, I've been waiting my whole life to be 64.
01:02But I can only do it one year at a time.
01:04My mum said I was born about 56.
01:08I never wanted to go out.
01:10I wanted to sit.
01:10I wanted to knit.
01:12I wanted to bake cakes.
01:13I don't like loud music.
01:14I don't like drinks parties.
01:16I don't like noise.
01:20I like a heavy blanket, bed, a book.
01:25Sometimes I like a bit of Mozart.
01:30So yeah, 40, bring it on.
01:32The way I'm going to celebrate is I'm going out with my family and I'm going to wear a dress
01:37with some lace on it, I believe.
01:40And we're going to eat roast chicken and drink champagne and everyone's going to stand up and say that I'm
01:43amazing.
01:44And now I'm going to go home.
01:46Juggling career and being a mother, I would say that lots of people work much harder than me.
01:50They leave the house at 7.30, they get on the tube, they go to work, they come back at
01:538 o'clock at night.
01:54I don't do that, I just wear quite a lot of eye makeup and do some chatting.
01:59But I also take 10 with twinings, I do.
02:01I sit down, I have a cup of tea, I relax.
02:04The minute the big kids are at school and the little one's asleep, I sit down.
02:09I take 10.
