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.
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.
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.
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.
fashion fits madly tend wear
Fashion isn't something I madly follow. I tend just to wear what I like and what fits me well.
