That's when I got really nervous.

When I auditioned for the part, I had no idea how beloved the BBC version was. If I had known, I would have been scared out of my mind. I just wanted to do something funny and slightly different. I didn't want to be held up to a TV icon.

When I got there, I was nervous,

I get nervous when I don't get nervous. If I'm nervous I know I'm going to have a good show.

Only when you're nervous do you get nasty.

Everyone is flawed and everyone makes mistakes and is culpable.
