Was I in a nativity play? I think I was an angel; I was a very blonde child, so I tended to get typecast. I have a vague memory of wearing wings.

'Skins' is about a group of teenagers in Bristol, and it's all about what they get up to and all the different things they do. I think it's a good show because it's come from a very real place, and there's a lot of young people involved in the writing.

If an angel loses its wings, it shall continue to soar, only by floating instead of flying. So, just because your wings may be clipped, doesn't mean you must be grounded.

I think all girls secretly want to be actresses because acting seems so glamorous. But as a child, I was always the villager who had one line in the school play. I was shy and I had a bit of a lisp.

“The wings of an angel may be found on the backs of our closest friends.” ~ Tom Baker

This adoration of an artist as a lone genius is quite misled, I think, because they are very much part of their time and their community.
