I love movies where people see the world from a different angle.

Fairytales have always got to have that scary quality, as long as you make them laugh.

I was a mixture of being incredibly old for my age and incredibly backwards. I was born quite old, but then I stopped growing. I lived with my mum and dad till I was 30.

Why do you put your self esteem in the hands of complete strangers?

I'm a very good sleeper.

I’m more comfortable with myself than when I was younger. I hated myself then. Wait, I didn’t hate myself – that’s a strong word. But I was so diffident. I didn’t know how to act, for one. I had no confidence in that area or in myself at all, really. I had a big inner critic and still do. I just don’t listen to it so much.

I remember I did think, 'Wouldn't it be nice if Mr Right moved in next door?'
