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.
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.
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.
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.
believe definitely
In the Church of Scotland, Episcopalian, you don't have to believe in Heaven, but you definitely have to believe in Hell.
great medical
I really admire medical people. They have a great sense of humour, and they just have to get on with it.
wee york
Audiences are a wee bit more chatty in New York than in London.
against bit people women
Women are never the protagonists; we're always reactionary against everything that's done to us. I like people who write for women that have got a bit more about them.
family
Thankfully, I have never experienced a miscarriage, but I have friends and family who have, and I've talked to them about their feelings.
although excited finish hours lizard love morning playing six skin spending
I love playing 'Madame Vastra.' Although I do suffer, spending three-and-a-half hours in make-up every morning to have her lizard skin put on. I was so excited the first day when we did the make-up test, but after six hours, I was like, 'Can we finish now?'
