My feet are like something from another age - prehistoric and troll-like. I keep expecting them to talk, they have that much character.

I love working and I love doing lots of things and a variety of things. It keeps your mind active...and you don't end up worrying about just the one thing. When I chew things over or analyze too much, that is when I can trip myself up.

My parents have a strong work ethic, but their attitude to life, their philosophy, is: 'whatever makes you happy.

I'll try and get through as much as my voice and nerves and knees will let me.

Comedy was why I got into acting the first place. Peter Sellers was a huge influence on my wanting to act. I grew up with him and found him hysterical. The Pink Panther films were an inspiration, from my earliest childhood days, when I was watching them with my brother and my dad.

Characters that are not the norm or a bit out of the ordinary are always a challenge as an actress. You learn more by using different tools for those type of characters. They are always much more fun to play and much more interesting. They take you places that you wouldn't necessarily go in your everyday life.

You always want your films to go as far as they can.
