Victoria Wood - Personal Life

Personal Life

Wood married magician Geoffrey Durham in March 1980. They separated in October 2002. They have two children, Grace (born 1988) and Henry (born 1992). Although Wood fiercely maintains her privacy and that of her children, even originally refusing to publicly release the name of her son when he was born, Henry Durham appeared in a small cameo in her 2010 BBC Christmas Special.

Wood is a Quaker and a vegetarian, once remarking; "I'm all for killing animals and turning them into handbags. I just don't want to have to eat them."

Wood lives in Highgate, North London.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “I leave the governor’s office next week, and with it public life ... [which] has been on the whole a pleasant one. But for ten years and over my salaries have not equalled my expenses, and there has been a feeling of responsibility, a lack of independence, and a necessary neglect of my family and personal interests and comfort, which make the prospect of a change comfortable to think of.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “How are we to write
    The Russian novel in America
    As long as life goes so unterribly?”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
