I am one of the new characters in the brand new series of 'Postman Pat.' It has been a joy to do.

I like to do new things, so I always take on roles that I feel will keep me on my toes. I never want to pigeon myself, so I always like to surprise myself. I believe in versatility and so I would play anything as long as it was a challenge.

I love roles where I have to transform myself.

When I started out in the '90s, there were not many people of color writing, directing and producing - hence, the roles for people of color were few and far between. There's still few roles in England [where she's from].

I am still married, yes - no children. I have Benzo, though; he's my dog, a Lhasa apso.

I've always been quite psychic and believe there's a reason why things happen and that we need to learn from them.

And I'd love to direct. One day. I'm learning a lot on the set of The Good Wife.
