  • In Edinburgh, there was a lovely little Episcopalian Church of Scotland church on my way to the theater, so I used to pop in there and soak up the atmosphere.

  • I used to have a lovely wallet with lots of different compartments where I kept photographs of my grandmother, grandfather and friends. It was stolen one night when I was out in Edinburgh, and I never got it back.

  • I can't wait to work with Peter Capaldi as the next 'Doctor.' I know him from old; he's such a lovely man and will be brilliant in the role. As long as he tones down the Malcolm Tucker swearing.

  • I love playing 'Madame Vastra.' Although I do suffer, spending three-and-a-half hours in make-up every morning to have her lizard skin put on. I was so excited the first day when we did the make-up test, but after six hours, I was like, 'Can we finish now?'

  • I haven't done any 'Fringe' shows since I was about 17. Then I performed with my youth theatre in a show where we all had this old-fashioned make-up on and giggled through our lines.

  • In the Church of Scotland, Episcopalian, you don't have to believe in Heaven, but you definitely have to believe in Hell.

  • Thankfully, I have never experienced a miscarriage, but I have friends and family who have, and I've talked to them about their feelings.

  • It's hard to get the downtrodden working-class wifey sometimes because 'You don't look like it'. Well, that's weird because I grew up on a scheme in Paisley. But everyone's got a viewpoint about what you should look like, and it's tainted by prejudices and assumptions.

  • I love being in London, where I live, for the shops, the bars and the clubs - but I equally enjoy going to my mum's house in Ayrshire and being able to sit on a cliff by the sea.

  • I started horse-riding when I was a child and still try to go as often as I can.

  • With some writers, the script looks beautiful on the page, but nobody actually speaks like that.

  • Women are never the protagonists; we're always reactionary against everything that's done to us. I like people who write for women that have got a bit more about them.
