I really enjoy the company of my kids… I’m not one of those people who goes ‘Yeah, my kids are my mates’, that’s a dreadful kind of mother, but I’m fortunate that there are times that they do want me around, and I feel lucky that they let me into their world.

I don’t go to celebrity parties a lot. I don’t really enjoy them because I really like going for it in parties.
