I believe that a university education should be free as it is unfair on people who cannot afford to pay for it.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
As a single parent, it can really be tough if the father's not in the picture much. Physically, emotionally and financially, you are trying to be there for your child and it can really get on top of you.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
When I had my daughter and split up with her father six months later, I had a really hard time.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
My biggest financial fear is dying and not leaving enough to see my daughter through to adulthood and financial independence.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I find that a small sacrifice such as switching off my phone and blocking out work helps me stay balanced.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I wouldn't say I am practicing Muslim - I don't go to the mosque or anything, but it's part of my identity.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
When somebody openly talks about having depression, it's a very brave thing to do.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I hadn't planned to have kids, I didn't even know I was pregnant until four months in.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I am not a country girl at all. I tried the whole country dream and it didn't work for me. I need the madness and pandemonium of a city around me.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
My background's Arab and I'm quite fiery, stubborn and used to shouting and expressing myself quite loudly, and Inez and I have our little fall-outs as mum and daughters do.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I've got a Moroccan shape, where the weight goes on around the belly and the bum.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
My social life's moved up a few notches since moving back to London from Surrey because I'm near friends and family again and I'm really enjoying it.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I love salad, but I have to have something 'solid' with it because I don't feel satisfied without carbs.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I get really bad road rage, and if my daughter is in the car I have to bite my lip and try not to swear.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I'm a single parent and it just wouldn't have been possible for me to carry on in 'Primeval' once filming of the show switched to Dublin for ten months.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I love Louboutins and Jimmy Choos, but I've got pairs I've never worn, because I'm still waiting to find the outfit that will go with them.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
The make-up on 'Footballers' Wives' is unbelievable - there's loads of fake tan.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I was brought up a Muslim and I respect the religion I was born into, but I don't practise it. However, I do believe in thanking God for my happy life.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I'd watched the first couple of series, dipped in and out of it, but I think everyone's a fan of 'Spooks' even if they don't watch it all the time.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
Men huddle in a corner and talk about me, rather than walking up to me and chatting me up.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I did 'Footballer's Wives' for two-and-a-half seasons and I asked to be written out.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I eat little meals throughout the day rather than one huge one that makes you feel stuffed.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I'm the sole provider for my child, I don't get any help. I'm not saying we're poverty stricken, but it does mean I have to work hard.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I'm on my own so I do everything. I think with any mum, guilt is a major factor. You feel guilty dropping your kid off at nursery and going off to work all day. It's so tough to juggle everything, to get it right all the time.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
Because I'm not a spy in 'Spooks' and I'm not in every day I'm able to do other things, which is great fun because it breaks it all up for me and I get some time to spend with my daughter.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I've got a varied taste in films. I love a good horror movie - the first few 'Saw' films for example - but I also like comedies.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
If I'm going to a party, I dance for as long as possible to burn the calories - the jive is great because you're on your toes a lot so it works your calves, thighs and bum.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I'm half Moroccan and half Indian so I have quite an adventurous taste in food.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
There is no other parent for Inez. When I was working, I never got to hear about her day or chat about what she was learning or do any reading with her because by the time I got home my nanny had put her to bed.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I come from a background where bigger women are appreciated. After all, you can't belly dance with a flat stomach, so my ideal body would be curvy, womanly and voluptuous.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
My style is all over the place. It goes by my mood, but on a day-to-day basis it's relaxed and comfortable, just jeans and T-shirts and no heels unless I'm going to a meeting.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
A lot of mums are torn between their work and missing out on important milestones in their children's lives.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
I usually switch off my phone. I can't bear it; obviously I'm not a very social person like that.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
Being in your 30s is about discovering yourself and your body and enjoying who you are.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
My mum, who comes from Goa, wanted us to develop our minds when we were kids, so she used to turn the electricity off at weekends so we couldn't sit watching the telly.
Quote by -Laila Rouass
Sometimes I'll put on a Zig Ziglar tape: he's a motivational speaker who is really funny and really American. I know I should do the things he says, but I'm too cynical.
