Comedy is really my passion. I started out way before television doing sketch comedy with other women. Very much along the lines of, at the time it was 'Sensible Footwear', but now it's 'Smack The Pony', 'French And Saunders', that kind of thing. That's how I started out.
I love acting... I really do. I love crawling into another character's skin. That's something that I've always, always, always, always wanted.
I've always found that sci-fi fans are unbelievably generous.
Every time I've done a fund raiser, I've been blown away by the amount of money and the generosity that our fans have.
I got roped into Twitter. I actually quite enjoy it! But I don't go on as often as some.
