The danger with playing someone tough is that the character can become two-dimensional and mean and nobody likes her.

For people to come to you and say, 'Would you like to be a part of our show?' after years of 'Please tell me I'm good enough'... I can't tell you how wonderful it feels.

I love science fiction stuff - I'm a bit of a dweeb like that.

I've always wanted to do an adult cartoon, because I want a job where you can just drive up in your pajamas, have a cup of tea and not even get dressed, and you've gone to work for the day. What a great gig!

I'm not Irish. Just because I have red hair doesn't mean I'm a lucky charm, you know?

I'm incredibly cheesy. I'm all about happy endings and all of that.
