What is your favourite swear word?
Cunt. It just sounds so great, the way the consonants sit in your mouth. For me it’s the perfect curse word. I need to stop saying it around kids.

What are you wearing?
Beige shorts and a grey reebok singlet. No shoes, I hate wearing shoes. I’ll take comfort over fashion any day.

What is love?
My family, my husband. Love is their acceptance and unyielding support. Love is something I couldn’t live without. Gosh, I am a total romantic!

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
I really don’t see enough theatre. I spend so much time working in them that as soon as I get any free time I spend it out in the real world! So the last show I saw was my own show, The Witches, which was at Griffin Theatre. And of course I give it 5 stars (but seriously it was really good).

Is your new show going to be any good?
I bloody hope so! The cast is top notch, and I love Nick Enright. It should be really a fun and engaging show.
