All Bridget Jones did was give us a word for it - singleton - which was the worst possible thing.
All my friends have done the big-wedding thing, but if you only invite the people you really love, and who really love you, then you have to have a nice time, even if you're just plucking a guitar.
Bridget Jones has a lot to answer for.
Domestic goddesses have infiltrated everybody's lives and raised the bar way too high.
Five lines, darling. Can you believe they cut it? I played Joe Fiennes's wife, who got killed.
I can heat up soup. Just about. I once tried to make fairy cakes, like Nigella Lawson, and they had beige icing and were just disgusting.
I didn't want to do Hello! and be forced to have a random famous cousin brought into every shot and made to kneel at the front.
I get really upset seeing my friends who are mums crying because they feel like they're not good enough. Clever, confident, kind young women all going, 'I'm ruining my child's life.'
I grew up in an environment that was full of fashion everything. Other people had Wuthering Heights on their bookshelf; we had Helmut Newton.
I tried using the name Daisy Mazer on Ocado, and I thought it made me sound like the world's worst three-year-old.
I would love children some day, but for now, I'm happy to concentrate on work and take the risk of letting life just happen.
I'd rather mend bicycles for a living.
If I were to say you are crazy, what part of that would you find unacceptable?
It takes time and energy, and if I'm working, then I'd rather flop in front of the telly than put on a tiny dress and work out how to get myself to God knows where. I mean, lazy some would call it.
Me and my married friends catch ourselves going, 'Oh, thank God we haven't been left on the shelf for ever,' because that is now the ultimate fear.
My dad always said, 'Don't worry what people think, because you can't change it.'
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and wonder how I do these things. I can embarrass myself so badly that I literally get a hot prickle down the back of my neck.
Women should be freer to say, 'I have a friend with the most amazing life, so interesting, and she says in a sad, little voice, 'Everyone's getting married.''
Working together was a bit of a disaster. I'd tell him his ideas were cr*p and he'd say the same about mine.
