What is your favourite swear word?
I am trying to give up! Kids have sensitive ears and make it very clear they don’t like swears, and I think in the end they might be right. And I used to get such a kick out of swearing!

What are you wearing?
My pyjamas – a long-sleeve black top and black tights – but my secret is that I AM ALWAYS wearing my pyjamas! All my work clothes are my pyjamas with a skirt over the top and a bra underneath! Tell no one.

What is love?
It is my bedspread which my 60-something mother hand-knitted for me. A double-bedspread. It features in my costume for Distilled.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
It was a dance showcase for emerging choreographers at the Bangarra space last week and it was splendid and I give it 4 stars!

Is your new show going to be any good?
Yes, you have to be there! You will feel understood and loved and amused! We promise!

The Slow Days show Distilled is part of Sydney Fringe 2013.
