I don't think it could ever be possible to enjoy a job more than 'The Office.'

I'd been the girl, aged about 10, who'd twirl around her bedroom each night in the hope of waking up the following morning, having been transformed into Wonder Woman.

Horror is my favorite genre, but there have been a few horror movies that have properly scared me and that I don't jump back in to watch over and over.

Before Ricky Gervais came along, I was a jobbing actress and perfectly content if a little unfulfilled: I'd just done an advert for Imodium. That year, 1999, I auditioned for four parts. 'The Office' was the only one I got. What its success gave me was freedom of choice.

Let your family, staff, and friends know that you're still the same person, despite all the publicity and notoriety that accompanies your position.

You can't choose who your brother is. You're born, and whoever is in your family is your family. That's your blood. That's the way it is.

Yes, I help my kids with their homework. But I also get bored doing it. I will sit and listen to my children pontificate and discuss their ideas till the day is long because it warms my heart, but I really don't want to do math!

I come from a military family.
