Quote:

[#1] [when asked if she regrets not becoming a mother] I've never wanted children for a split second. The pain, the expense, the hassle... I can't see any advantages. Then I work on Motherland and feel vindicated. People say: "Yeah but who'll look after you in your old age?" What? Are you only having kids to be your carers?!

Trivias:

[#1] Worked as a dental nurse prior to landing regular acting work.

[#2] Her character Philomena Cunk was initially designed as a posh middle-class woman, and she practiced her lines as such for the audition. She then asked if she could try performing the lines with her natural Bolton accent, which was then used instead.

[#3] Her favourite film is Withnail & I (1987).
