I did say I don't feel as worthy as so many of the recipients ... He said he'd seen some of my work, which is amazing, and was a fan of Gavin and Stacey.
I suffer a lot with nerves and stage fright.
I really fancy Eddie Redmayne. I wouldn't mind a few steamy scenes with him.
I'd like to rescue people in trouble, like Superman.
I'm just some commoner trying to work in acting.
I live in Selfridges because it has everything under one roof. Liberty's is great for the same reason - I'm so lazy, I hate walking from shop to shop. Powder in Crouch End always has great designer labels in, so when I walk past I have to put my blinkers on because every time I nip in I come out with too much stuff; it's dangerous.
I have angel wings and a halo on my wrist, which I got done on my 30th birthday in memory of my brother.
I certainly never get above my station - my family would soon slap me back down to earth.
I'm grateful to be working. The most exciting thing for me is that I never get bored - I've done comedy, drama, musical theatre and now Shakespeare.
I'm always wearing Spanx, eating ice cream and feeling a bit lonely.
Maybe I'm going from that tomboy-ish state to feeling a bit more womanly. I've enjoyed wearing some fancy frocks. It's nice once in a while.
I do love Louboutin shoes, but I need to stop buying them because I don't go to many 'dos,' so they just line up. I'm normally in my trainers.
I pull my eyelashes when I'm tired or thinking - it's a nervous thing.
I don't mind being unlikely. I'd rather that than be predictable.
