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.
buy few genius witty
I did buy 'The Sun' a few times, but I just don't read the tabloids. Sometimes they can have genius witty headlines, but that's all. There's nothing to read.
apple cast knew
Every movie I've done, when they cast me, they knew I'd probably do it for a toffee apple and a Frappuccino.
amount best comedy confidence create hear huge nervous weird
When I was younger, I was nervous and didn't have a huge amount of confidence as an actor. Comedy is something - you know when you're getting it right because you can hear. And you can hear if you're not getting it right! I like to create interesting, weird characters, and they're often best in comedies.
allowed asked few france printing reverend wedding
My friends asked me to be a reverend at their wedding in France a few years ago. I went on the Internet, and within 15 seconds, I was printing out a certificate which allowed me to officiate at their wedding.
food
I tend to eat geographically. When I'm in L.A., I like to eat L.A. food.
hear people
I never feel comfortable! I'm always anxious. I'm always all over the board. That said, I like doing comedy because it's easy to tell when you're getting it right because people laugh, and you can hear it, and they're smiling, and you can see it.
agents guess leading sure
I'm sure my agents would like me to play leading roles, and I guess I should, but I'm more interested in the character parts. They're more fun, challenging and interesting.
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.
mother growing-up watches
My mother loved Gene Wilder when I was growing up, so I used to watch all his movies with her. I just adore him.
regret character ideas
To be honest, and I may regret saying this, the idea of playing the same character for a very long time is very daunting to me.
new-beginnings today-not-tomorrow words-of-wisdom
Do your best with what you have where you are.
jobs talking lucky
I always find it funny when I watch actors talking about, 'I chose to do this part.' A lot of times it's 'you're lucky to get the job.' We're like, 'Thank you so much.
