Most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.

For example, Americans seem reluctant to take on Shakespeare because you don't think you're very good at it - which is rubbish. You're missing out here.

My mum always told me I was precious, while my dad always told me I was worthless. I think that's a good grounding for a balanced life.

I wouldn't do my roles if I really hated it. I've done things I hated, but I didn't go into them thinking I would hate them. I want to have fun. I don't want to go to work and not enjoy it. So if I'm swirling around on some wires, talking to Fred Flintstone, I make it the funnest I can. I also want to be good at it. I don't want to be a crap cartoon character. I want to be proud I'm a vitamin!

I don't feel I'm a compulsive person. I multitask. I'm really well-organised, and I have lots of people to help me.

With Urban Secrets, I just really liked the idea of wandering around chatting to people.

When there's an adult person who's scaring you, you grow up pretty quickly.
