Mimicking People Was Something I Did Already.

I Don't Think That I Want To Meet Any Of The Icons. I Don't Think That Anybody Can Quite Live Up To Your Expectations.

Mike Leigh Encourages You To Choose A Person That You Know To Base Your Character On. You Write A Whole List Of People That You Know And You Go Through That List In Great Depth With Him. And Then He Chooses One Of Those People From Your List.

I Just Find It Thrilling, Especially When I Totally Lock In To The Person That I Am Doing And I'm Really Flying... I Suppose I Am Hiding Myself When I Sing As These Other People.

I Find Singing As Somebody Else Very Liberating, It Just Frees Me Up.

I Think That If You Idealise Someone For So Long, They Can Only Disappoint And I Wouldn't Want To Be Disappointed By Those People.
