Kim Cattrall puts career before love
Kim Cattrall claims acting consumes her life so much that she can’t hold on to a relationship. The outspoken actress split from her chef boyfriend of five years in July last year but says she hasn’t given up looking for love.
The 53-year-old star explains, "It's very hard for someone not involved in this business to really understand what it's about. You work 12-hour days and something like a series literally consumes your life. I think it's just time’s not there, really. But I'm still hopeful that I'll meet someone.”
Kim – who is most famous for playing man-eater Samantha on ‘Sex and the City’ – also admits that she is nervous about her forthcoming role in London play 'Private Lives', opposite 'Pride and Prejudice' actor Matthew MacFadyen.
She says, “Sometimes I think why do I have to do these scary things? It would be much easier just to play Samantha for the rest of my life. You've been looking forward to working with this director and these actors and this play and then it comes and you think, 'Oh, f*ck! Oh, no! It's here!' You very much feel the blood coursing through your veins.”

Over the Teacups
After putting my six-year-old and three-year-old to bed, I settled down on the couch to watch TV. Miss
Three decided she wanted to join Mum, but with her Barbie as well. She asked me to brush Barbie’s hair with my fingers as we couldn’t find the comb. I replied, “No, it’s bedtime. You’ve had your kiss and cuddle and a story. It’s Mum’s quiet-time.” So what does my beautiful little girl turn around and say to me? “You’re fired!”

ANIMAL ADVICE
My five-year-old grandson, who has been at school for two months, imparted some excellent advice recently. “If you get into a rhinoceros’ enclosure, don’t move because their eyes have evolved to register movement.” He told me he had learnt this at school. It’s just one of the many amazing revelations he has passed on in his five short years!

JAM PACKED
My sister’s eyesight is not the best. Recently, she put a dollop of raspberry jam, instead of tomato sauce, into the
mince. She scooped out as much as she could and said if her husband complained – which was likely – she would just call it “sweet and sour”!
