I'm playing an Amazon warrior princess in a new radio comedy series called 'Elvenquest,' and I'm playing a Russian genius in the comeback of 'Red Dwarf.'
The Russians are extreme people: they are generous but crazy at the same time. They always have something to say, and I really like that.
There is no man who desires as passionately as a Russian. If we could imprison a Russian desire beneath a fortress, that fortress would explode.
I love the Russians for their verve, their melancholia, their vivacity, their unpredictability, and their humour.
I would love to play a crazy Russian spy, run with a gun. That's something I would love to do.
I don't really like discussions about a supposed Russian national character.
Even though you picture Russians as stoic, their language is really poetic.
Finally the world would see my full range of comedy characters - from grouchy librarian to Russian librarian.
