Audiences in London arrive stressed out of their minds because they can't find anywhere to park, they can't find their tickets, whatever. There is a great joy in being out of London because people are in their seats, waiting for you, waiting to watch the show, not rushing in at the last minute.

I'm ashamed to say I've only just learnt to work my mobile! I don't know how to text, use my video, the net, e-mail. I can turn on the TV, the oven and drive a car! I'm living in a bygone era, I'm afraid. I'm missing a lot, I know.

Television has been very kind to me, I will never knock any opportunities they give me. I've had some wonderful parts and can never be grateful enough. I've always loved doing theatre, I find it tremendously exciting. I haven't done many films but those I have done, I have loved.
