I sort of fall in love with every character I do; you have to understand how they became what they've become, whether they're the ugly kind or the very beautiful kinds of characters.

I love acting but I also love writing, especially comedy.

I'm quite an optimist, quite happy in life, quite smiley.

A different script calls for different things. It always takes me a long time to get to know the part, and know the logic behind the words. I have to be with the script for quite a long time before things start to fall into place, before they become part of the character.

I remember once giving my dad some drawings and writings and said, 'If you could just give these to the publisher, that would be great.' And I was about five!

I don't wear bright orange clothes or leopard skin boots, but it was really good fun to play someone that does and have an excuse too!

You think that adulthood will hit and you'll suddenly be more capable. But that doesn't happen, ever, does it?
