What are you like first thing?
Annoyingly chipper. I know I must be annoying to Michael, and my son Chester does impersonations of me. Everybody takes about an hour to wake up but I'm like, 'Ping! Let's go!'
If you were at home alone, what would you do?
I'd watch something like Virgin River or reruns of Grey's Anatomy that none of the men in my house are willing to watch with me. Even if I'm on my own I'll wear something nice that makes me feel good. I don't laze around in onesies. I'll be eating a healthy, picky platter with houmous, falafels and peppers, and I'll be drinking kombucha.
What is your biggest fear in life?
As I've got older, I really want to stay alive for long enough to get my son Chester to 25, which is eight years away. I think I have a fear of not being able to do that. I know that I'm not my parents or my sister, but they all died quite young.
Do you have any regrets?
