boyfriend change circus sound time
I remember I had a boyfriend a long time ago who said, 'You need to change your name; you sound like a circus performer.'
almost delicious fancy meals twelve
I won't eat offal. Once, I was in London at the Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, which is this really fancy eating establishment and hotel, and I almost got conned into eating testicles. It was one of the most delicious meals I've ever eaten, about twelve courses. That was one of the courses.
When I was 17 I interned at a school, and it was the most exhausting, difficult thing I've ever done, with all these screaming children.
funny
As long as it's funny, there's no such thing as too far.
compared great played thank ugly
That's nice, to be compared to Joanna Lumley. She played my mother once in 'Ella Enchanted.' I was one of the ugly sisters, and she was the stepmother, so that was great. I'll take that comparison, thank you.
beauty birthday fairy fur girls pink spots ugly
When I was 11, I had an Ugly Sister birthday party. All my idea. Most girls want to be a fairy or a princess, but there I am with beauty spots and fur and fluorescent pink kiss-curls.
passing paying sent talkative
I was very chatty and talkative and always getting sent out of class for talking too much and not paying attention, passing notes.
ambitious ask average drive free guess hard job people work
People ask why I always play crazy people and free spirits. I guess it is because I like to have fun. But I am more ambitious than your average free spirit. This job is hard enough that, without drive and hard work, you will never make it work.
funny whether
Someone told me I had funny facial expressions. I don't know whether I take that as a compliment or not, but.
love means people
What I love about L.A. is that people say they're going for a hike, which just means a walk. It's a stroll, but if you walk in L.A., it's a hike.
cup england straight
What I like in L.A. is that it's a lot more brutal. In England it's, 'Have a cup of tea, have a chat,' and you still don't get the part. In L.A. you go in, do your bit, and if they don't like you, you're straight out again. In a sense, that's more honest.
food
I tend to eat geographically. When I'm in L.A., I like to eat L.A. food.
character wicked ugly
I always played the ugly sister instead of Cinderella or the Wicked Witch. But those are the parts I love, and actually, to be a character actress, you have more longevity, hopefully.
actors chance daniel-day-lewis
The actors I admire, like Ben Kingsley or Daniel Day-Lewis, they totally reinvent themselves in every part. I hope I get a chance to do that.
