drama school goes-on
But I didn't really enjoy my secondary education that much, probably because I am a very physical person and don't enjoy sitting at a desk all day. I just dragged myself through GCSE and A Levels, so it suited me very much to go on to drama school, which was very active.
years effort everyday
I still love coming into work everyday after so many years working as an actress. I've been working more or less continuously and I find I have to really want to do the project to make it work because you have to put such an enormous amount of effort into it.
thinking pieces emotion
I think you know what you're up against when you take on a piece that you know is going to involve dragging up a lot emotions - you can end up being deeply immersed in gloom.
beach grateful dark
I was a complete tomboy. I loved wandering out in storms or walking on the beaches in the dark. It was a very free upbringing, and I'm grateful to my parents for that.
giving trying
Whatever I'm doing, I try to give it everything.
years looks use
I'm becoming more squeamish. I didn't use to be - nine years of 'Silent Witness' prepared me for most things one will have the misfortune to see in life. Before, I'd be wading up to my neck in gore, but now I tend to look away.
running building-up focus
Running gave me a focus to start looking after myself, to eat properly, and focus on building up my strength.
actresses wanted
No, I always wanted to be an actress.
thinking people locks
I like to think I'm a listener, and I'm fascinated by observing people - I suppose you just lock that in.
people age obsessed
It always interests me how obsessed people are about age.
running fields want
If I want to run around a field when I'm 70, I would like to have that option.
drama school cutting
I'd been gearing up to working in theatre since coming out of drama school, but it was an exciting time for TV drama - it was the birth of Channel 4, and Brookside was very cutting-edge at the time.
across allow block call change level lost move network protect recover single track users
What if we could allow end users to recover their own files? If you lost a file, why do you have to call IT to get it back? It's your files. We continuously track every single change at a block level and we move that across the network and we protect it.
children believe vaccines
We have learned that a majority of parents whose children have late-onset or acquired autism believe it is vaccine-related. They deserve answers. We have also learned that the parents have been our best investigators in looking for both causes of autism and for treatments.
