It's weird, because usually if you're British and you go to America you play baddies; but I play naughty people here and goodies in America.

In marriage, there's a lot of ignoring each other, which is hard to fake on-screen.

Up until like five seconds ago, I just took what jobs came along.

I'm a naughty sweetheart.

I feel every kid has to be naughty.

Steve Coogan does something for me. He is so naughty, but I quite fancy him.

One of the people I lived with was a bit naughty and would steal our food. You would see him with the cornflakes box and he would say, 'No, I didn't do it.'
