Quotes

Jane Leeves: I'm the highest paid English actress ever, apparently. (edit)
Jane Leeves: They go “Daphne, we love her, she’s so sweet.” She’s a great calling card because she’s such a nice person and so likable that people relate to her and immediately embrace me. (edit)
Jane Leeves: I read for them one day, then Kelsey Grammer walked in and read with me the next day, and they said, 'Could you go outside for a second?' I went outside and then they opened the door and said, 'ladies and gentlemen, Daphne Moon.' (edit)
Jane Leeves: (talking about how she knows everything about her character, Daphne Moon) It’s true. I have quite an extensive background of her. In 1982 she was at beauty school. It hasn’t been talked about in the scripts, but I know she tried her hand at many things. For Daphne, its always been about talking care of people and helping them feel better. She has 8 brothers and comes from a working class background. The little house she grew up in was just like the one in My Left Foot, with four in a bed. She had to contribute to the running of the household by bringing home what she made and giving a bit for Mum. (edit)
Jane Leeves: It was a very small town in the middle of the country side. Everybody knew each other, you felt safe there, you didn’t have to lock doors. (edit)
