I love playing 'Madame Astra.' Although I do suffer, spending three-and-a-half hours in make-up every morning to have her lizard skin put on. I was so excited the first day when we did the make-up test, but after six hours, I was like, 'Can we finish now?'

I really admire medical people. They have a great sense of humor, and they just have to get on with it.
