We fell in love at the Royal Court Theatre, we were having the best time then the rug was very severely pulled from under my feet. I thought we'd be together forever and have a big family. But maybe if that had happened, maybe I wouldn't have the career I have now. I think I'd have given up a lot for a good long marriage, but the price would have been something - I don't know what."
