Yes, whereas I understood from doing Joan that grace was a muscle and it was about the practising of kindness and goodness without compromise and that it fuels you.

And that's what happened in that play for me and it's something I try to carry through in life because I think it's so important.

I think that love comes in many guises, you know, and it's not...

I think we put an awful pressure on love to be one thing.

And it isn't.

And also we put this ridiculous strain on marriages that they are to be all things to people.

And there's no way you can be a best friend, the most fantastic lover in the world, a business manager and a therapist, you know.

But this is it.

I mean, it's a fruitless task.

You can't achieve it.

And also, the other thing to be remembered is some people just win the lottery.

Some people just do meet somebody, like my mum and dad.

Yeah, yes.

Some people just do.

And then other people don't.

They have a different love story or love stories.

And neither one is superior to the other.

In lots of areas of my life I'm in a happy place.

I'm single and I would love to be in love.

I would love to meet somebody.
