The first job I ever did in the theatre, I was supposed to be a genius piano player. I couldn't play the piano, but you just sit there at a piano like you're playing, and suddenly all this amazing music comes out and the audience believes you can do it. It's the same with computers. I love scenes where there are people yanking at monitors, "yes I'll put you through now," and you know they're just doing that. But you can look brilliant at all this technology. I love it.

I have a daughter, and fairies meant a lot to her growing up.

My experience of working on this show, even though there is so much about sex and sexuality, and we find out a lot of facts and statistics that are very interesting, in their own right, I found that I started talking about relationships more, and the emotions, the difficulties and the challenges. So, I became far more open about that, which I think is probably an indication with the show itself.

I don't do the whole L.A. nightlife thing.

I don't want to do something that I've done before; I can't see the point of it.

I live a very Kenneth Williams-like existence.

I perceive and relate to the world through where I grew up; that's part of me. It's what I judge everything else against.
