I'm usually put off by performers when they get political

I never wanted to do political satire because it seems too surface to me.

It's the poignancy and sadness in things that gets to me.

You become so encapsulated in this world of being a star. People listen to what you say, you have this voice, it becomes unreal and you become far removed from the people you came from.

I loved the late Gilda Radner. I love Carol Burnett and Lily Tomlin.

My mum would like to see me on the cover of 'Good Housekeeping' demonstrating children's toys with some nice lipstick on.

I never worked with a dialogue coach before, but I'd hate it if an American did a British accent and didn't do it well. It would be insulting.
