Having a puppet is a way of having opposing opinions - I say a thing; he says the other.

I've started running three or four times a week, which prompts millions of sketch ideas.

If I have a gig in the evening, I get 'the doom' at about 5 P.M., when I think I'm getting flu.

I was really awful at auditions. There's something about sitting down and saying into the camera: "I'm Nina and this is the name of my agent." That makes me just die inside.

I like my squishy, red, high-heeled Vivienne Westwood jelly shoes. They make you seem like you're much more of a go-er.

I make napkins talk in restaurants, socks talk on car journeys. There is an awful lot of puppetry going on in the house.

I think I've got it pretty easy compared with somebody who works at a desk nine to five. I'm just working for an hour in the evening. I get a bit breathless, as I have to talk non-stop because of the puppets.
