ADD QUOTES
- Tamsin (In 1997, talking about her upcoming marriage to Richard Leaf): It suddenly hit me one day: after we're married I'll be called Mrs T Leaf!

- (on her BAFTA and Royal Television Society Award nominations for "Green Wing") Tamsin: I feel very privileged in getting my work recognised but I confess that I also felt a bit odd in getting it for Green Wing, given that it is such an ensemble piece. Isn't it a bit peculiar that you could say, 'Right, which is the best colour in the rainbow? Which one shall we give an award to?'. And you pick one colour out and then it's not a rainbow any more. I suppose, in the final analysis, it is about people relating to a character rather that giving marks for a performance.

- (on balancing career and family) Tamsin: I was very blessed. When I first had children I had no huge career to surrender, no great dilemma about work versus family. If someone had said back then: 'One day you will be in three TV shows and radio and breast-feeding a baby,' I'd have said 'no way'. A career on a slow burn has been perfect for me.
