brilliant lovely malcolm man next peter tones work
I can't wait to work with Peter Capaldi as the next 'Doctor.' I know him from old; he's such a lovely man and will be brilliant in the role. As long as he tones down the Malcolm Tucker swearing.
meet pull
You go for an audition, and you meet a director, and you find that they don't want you. You have to have a pull with them: that they understand what you want to bring to it. That you don't want to be the pretty little thing.
pop scotland soak
In Edinburgh, there was a lovely little Episcopalian Church of Scotland church on my way to the theater, so I used to pop in there and soak up the atmosphere.
kept lots stolen
I used to have a lovely wallet with lots of different compartments where I kept photographs of my grandmother, grandfather and friends. It was stolen one night when I was out in Edinburgh, and I never got it back.
bars cliff clubs enjoy equally house love sit
I love being in London, where I live, for the shops, the bars and the clubs - but I equally enjoy going to my mum's house in Ayrshire and being able to sit on a cliff by the sea.
performed shows since
I haven't done any 'Fringe' shows since I was about 17. Then I performed with my youth theatre in a show where we all had this old-fashioned make-up on and giggled through our lines.
nobody script speaks
With some writers, the script looks beautiful on the page, but nobody actually speaks like that.
people
Some people have a persona that they bring, and I can't do that. It's just me that you get, I'm afraid.
My first-night jitters are so bad, I can't even hold a tea cup, but once I am over that, I get really into it.
since wee
I've been a 'Doctor Who' fan since I was a wee girl.
keeps tend yoga
I tend to do yoga before I go on stage, so that keeps me nice and calm.
I started horse-riding when I was a child and still try to go as often as I can.
art available takes types
I do worry because it takes all types to make our culture, to make our art. We need it to be available to all.
For a little while there, I was thinking, 'I don't want to be in anything on British TV'. I didn't watch any of it because it was rubbish.
