"In theatre, there's no time for a proper meal." — Tamsin Greig

I know women at work who don't talk about having a baby because they don't want to upset the apple cart, but unless people know what the problems are, why should they engage with it?

I always said there's no way I'd work in America because I'm too weird and I'm too old, but somehow it's happened.

I suppose I flee to life. I'm most interested when conversations become difficult.

Writers have to be very careful and discerning because so much of the machine is out of their control.

I don't ever want to do stuff just for the sake of it.

I have a shallow understanding of what it means to be alive, and I know certain things about parenting and being a wife and doing the school run. I know little bits, but I'm really a paddler on a beach.

Going to rehearsals of school plays got me out of science. It became clear what inspired me and what dampened my spirit. The only other thing I could do at school was trampolining - it didn't seem to have much future in it.
