“My first job was playing ‘Nurse 2’ in a film by Ben Elton called ‘Maybe Baby,’ and the first actors I worked with professionally were Hugh Laurie and Joely Richardson. I was totally star-struck. I got that job on my final day of drama school, so it was a nice bridge into the professional world.”
“People want to be entertained when they watch dramas. ‘Mistresses’ has a mixture of escapism and reality.”

“I had periods when I was out of work, and I still do – I just don’t worry about them as much any more.”
“I’ll go wherever the work takes me. If something comes along that feels right, the family will come with me.”
