I'm grateful to be working. The most exciting thing for me is that I never get bored - I've done comedy, drama, musical theatre and now Shakespeare.

I certainly never get above my station - my family would soon slap me back down to earth.

I swore on screen when I got the Olivier for 'Legally Blonde,' I was so surprised. Awards where the public vote mean a lot. I'm a big Twitter fan and like talking to people who support me.

I'm normally a burger and chips girl - such a cheap date.

Maybe I'm going from that tomboy-ish state to feeling a bit more womanly. I've enjoyed wearing some fancy frocks. It's nice once in a while.

I have angel wings and a halo on my wrist, which I got done on my 30th birthday in memory of my brother.

I don't usually get to play sophisticated women. I usually do the old scrubs, chavs or slappers.
