finding likely people structure suit
People suit their star sign. If someone is annoying me over and over, and I know they're a Sagittarius, say, I'm more likely to forgive them. It comes down to my need for structure as a way of finding my bearings with people.

Getting a role in 'Harry Potter' was like winning the lottery. But no one deserves an acting job.

I grew up with 'Roseanne'; I kind of adore her and stuff like' Home Improvement', really traditional American stuff.

I don't enjoy doing stand-up. I see it as being like exercise: I feel good about it after I've done it.

My experience of children on a film set, especially on a big film set like the 'Potter' one, is not wholly positive.

When I got my headshots done, there was this woman screaming at me to blow my lips out. She kept saying, 'You want to be like Scarlett Johansson, don't you?' In the shot, my eyes are popping out; I look terrified. I realised I'd rather not get a job than go through pain to be something I'm not.

bit feels final framework jigsaw laugh natural nicest talk time tv within
Having done film, TV and theatre, the nicest final bit of the jigsaw is to do live comedy, because you can talk to the audience. It feels really natural to be able to laugh with them, but at the same time still be within the framework of a play.
good hits obsessed
I'm obsessed with books. When a good book hits me, it's all I can think about and all I can do.
wise lying work-out
I am trying to work out what my taste is, comedy-wise. I look up to stand up comedians who appear to be telling the truth, but I don't mind if they are lying.
