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.

I had no idea it would be as painful as it was, ... It really stung.

I have no idea where my pathetic nature comes from. If I thought about it too long, it would depress me.

That's when I got really nervous.

Oh my gosh. That's terrible. I had no idea. I've known her since I was a little girl. That's really awful.

I had no idea what we would get. We should have known from being regular watchers of the show, but it turned out better than it ever could have been. And it's gone way beyond just the house. All the people that have made this possible for us.
