I think 'Ballet Shoes' was a very pivotal role for me. I was about 14 then, and it was an incredible cast: Eileen Atkins, Victoria Wood, Emilia Fox, Harriet Walters. All these incredible women.

My dream would be to be like Tina Weymouth from Talking Heads. Her style and everything about her, she's just the coolest human being.
Good horror is about so much more than slashing: it's a way of examining grief and loss of self.
I never went to drama school, but I was really lucky in that both my junior school and secondary school had brilliant drama departments.
