She said: "I think I would be a doctor. I think I would enjoy that. My mother was a psychiatrist. I could imagine doing that as well."

Although she is a successful Hollywood actress, Julianne still enjoys broadening her horizons and is a published children's author.

The 'A Single Man' star has written tomes about the adventures of Freckleface Strawberry - a semi-biographical character - and she loves the freedom writing gives her.
