At my core, the glass isn't half-empty - it's not even what I ordered in the first place.
From Catherine Tate
Putting TV stars in plays just to get people in is wrong. You have to have the right people in the right parts. Stunt casting and being gimmicky does the theatre a great disservice. You have to lure people by getting them excited about a theatrical experience.
I've realised I need a gnawing, nagging, anxious doubt when I wake at 4 A.M.
I used to go red when anybody spoke to me. It's awful because you absolutely cannot control it. If you are a child that blushes, or is shy, the one thing you want in the world is to be the child who comes in and says, 'Hi,' to everyone and goes up and makes friends.
Because I was a shy and awkward child, I used humour to deflect attention. It was a controlling mechanism. Because I could use it to control my image.
I'm not frightened of a bit of silence.
I'm naturally quite lazy, and I actually think I'm lax about my career. None of my work defines who I am.
I'm an incredibly negative person, so any form of success is only ever going to be a relief to me and set my default position back to neutral.
There's no game plan when it comes to thinking up new characters; inspiration can come from anything - from a wig I've seen to an expression I've heard someone use.
My mum left my dad when I was six months old, so I don't know him at all. I had no male figures in my life, really. I had my godfather, but he's more like a grandfather, so I was quite sheltered. I've never tried to find my father.
