I consider myself British and have very happy memories of the UK. I spent the first 14 years of my life in England and never wanted to leave. When I was in Australia I went back to England a lot.

Female roles in comedies are usually quite silly, I think.

I go to a dance class myself called BBS - Body By Simone - its little mini dance routines and I am often the oldest person in the room although I forget that. I'm fairly fit.

I don't think of myself as a terribly confident person. But I have a survival mechanism that was instilled in me by my mother.

There's a lot of skeletons in my closet, but I know what they're wearing. I'm not gonna act all ashamed of it.

What you want, as an actor, is a great leader. I can't bear it when I work with a director who is wishy-washy and says, "What did you think?"

I think I have better taste now than I did then.
