ADD QUOTES
- Nina: (about Justin Hawkins) I had no idea what he would be like as a guy, it's just that his performances are so huge.

- Nina: I get to play a lot of characters that are very straight, rather stiff authority figures. Since I played a teacher, who was a bit up herself, I get a lot of those roles and I love playing them, but it's great to play Jane who is a lot happier. She smiles a lot and is physically more relaxed. She has a laugh and doesn't get uptight about anything, and I have loved playing someone like that. I haven't played anyone as rambunctious as this before, at least not in a contemporary form.

- Nina: The news bored me stupid when I was a kid, it was the thing I would start jumping up and down in front of my mum and say "let's play" and she'd be wanting to watch the news. I couldn't understand why anyone would ever want to watch the news.
