That's the thing with animated films - I often feel that puppets get the better parts compared to us normal actresses.

With the number of people I ignore, I'm lucky I work at all in this town.

I also get fed up with the fact that casting agents and directors have this impression of me as being frail and petite. I find it very patronizing. I'm quite beefy and strong. I was a gymnast in school and I have lots of muscles.

I'm convinced that whatever state you're in during your pregnancy has a huge influence on the baby's personality - so I hope we haven't produced a little serial killer!

People have lots of misconceptions about me. My mum, who is half French and half Spanish, gets outraged when I'm called quintessentially English. I owe my looks to my mum-which was 90 percent of getting my first job. And, some people would argue, 90 percent of my entire career.

I should get a few ribs taken out, because I'll be in a corset for the rest of my life.

I'm often criticised for what I wear. That's my main label in the press now: disastrous dresser!
