From the Internet Movie Databse

• On my mother's side I'm Polish-Jewish, and on my father's side I'm Scottish puffin.
  • When asked about her heritage and striking nose

• It suddenly hit me one day: after we're married I'll be called Mrs T Leaf!
  • About her forthcoming marriage to Richard Leaf (1997)

From an interview on the Green Wing "microsite"

• In as much as any invisible, unbelievable, unknowable fictional character is, yes.
  • When asked if Debbie Aldridge (her Archers character) is now part of her life.

• Is that what he said? Is that what he said? He can talk! No, it’s true. I’m terrible. Do you know what? I’ve got quite an easy job. I’ve just got to look at people, say lines and not laugh. And two of those I do okay-ish. But basically I’m just shit at quite an ordinary job, namely not laughing. It’s not that hard not to laugh. The guy who sold me my travel card, he didn’t wet himself laughing. You just don’t do it.
  • When told that Julian Rhind-Tutt claimed that she was quite bad about corpsing.

From an interview with the Sunday Times, "The eyebrows have it."

• When I came to faith, I thought I would have to stop being an actor, because it’s all about artifice and manipulation. But we’re living in a world where God doesn’t really have an influence, unless it’s fundamentalists, so I’ll always be an outsider because of my faith. And when you think about it, faith and acting are all about stories, so the two are not mutually exclusive.
  • About being a Christian

Appearing on "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross" (31 March 2006)

• I said to one of them, "Look after the baby, I've got washing," because we've got washable nappies. I said, "Look after the baby. Entertain her, do some words," because she's saying words, "Do any words." So I came back after I scrapped all the stuff off, and he was going, "Say, ‘Wigan Athletic!’"
  • About her children.
