My all-time favourite programme is 'Seinfeld;' I could just sit and watch that over and over again.
bit series takes
One of the things that takes a bit of getting used to on an American series is having a different director, and often writer, every week.
aware episodes relationship
One of the things you have to be acutely aware of when shooting episodes out of order is your character's relationship with the other characters.
consult costume record schedule shooting
When I get a new script, I write a record of how many costume and make-up changes I have. I cross-check them against the shooting schedule and then consult with the hair and make-up designers.
quirky scripts normal
I'm not really that keen on mainstream; I'm not interested in doing the normal films. I do tend to go for the quirky, different scripts.
language
Any friendship or relationship is about a language.
fun acting elements
It's always fun messing around with costumes and stuff. You know there is an element of acting that you've got to dress-up; that's part of it.

I took part in two 'Leverage' conventions. Fans fly in from as far as Russia and Australia. It's expensive to attend.

I love those connections that make this big old world feel like a little village.

I am a big comedy fan, having been in 'Coupling.'
way cinema looks
French cinema allows women to look... a certain way and be talented at the same time.
artist track persons
Every person has parallel tracks. You have your personal life or your life as an artist, or whatever it is you do.
running tv-shows names
Every name in a TV show has to be run by the legal department first.
definitely homage julia
When I had the wonderful occasion to play a goofball, Jane, in 'Coupling,' it was definitely an homage to Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who I just think is a genius.
