I once did a role which I couldn't rehearse in my street clothes, I had to have the character's costume on before I could rehearse it. I just couldn't think as the character unless I looked like him, or I knew that I looked like him.

I am unusually Halloween-attentive, because, as it happens, I was born on Halloween, so for me it has always been an occasion of great moment.

My first role was an angel in the nursery nativity. I spotted my mum halfway through and shouted over someone else's lines to ask if she liked my costume. I've learnt not to do that now.

I remember playing with some friends and being aware that I was acting as I was playing with them - I would think of a character and pretend to be someone else.

I knew I would grow up and wear a costume one day, and that's exactly what happened.

On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me.

I feel like I'm a character already, as in, like, I love dressing up.

My family was very Halloween-friendly, for all of the religion and whatever was going on.

I see my face in the mirror and go, 'I'm a Halloween costume? That's what they think of me?'

I refuse to dress 'hot' for Halloween, 'cause I always have to have makeup and hair and look cute for my job. So on Halloween, I either go gory or weird or funny.
