Putting TV stars in plays just to get people in is wrong. You have to have the right people in the right parts. Stunt casting and being gimmicky does the theatre a great disservice. You have to lure people by getting them excited about a theatrical experience. Catherine Tate castdisserviceexcite share on social
I used to go red when anybody spoke to me. It's awful because you absolutely cannot control it. If you are a child that blushes, or is shy, the one thing you want in the world is to be the child who comes in and says, 'Hi,' to everyone and goes up and makes friends.

I tried four times to get into the Central School of Speech and Drama before I got accepted. I started when I was 17, which was too young, in retrospect, and finally went when I was 21. I just kept plugging away. Determined? Yeah, I think I was. Catherine Tate acceptcentraldetermine share on social
I'm naturally quite lazy, and I actually think I'm lax about my career. None of my work defines who I am. Catherine Tate careerdefinelax Change image and share on social
My mum left my dad when I was six months old, so I don't know him at all. I had no male figures in my life, really. I had my godfather, but he's more like a grandfather, so I was quite sheltered. I've never tried to find my father. Catherine Tate dadfatherfigure share on social
Although I was a shy child, I was also a bit flamboyant. Catherine Tate bitechildflamboyant Change image and share on social
When I realised I had a facility for humour, I latched on to it, and it gave me confidence and I built my personality around it. So I subconsciously made myself become the funny one so that would be my label rather than the ginger one or the red-faced one. Catherine Tate buildconfidenceface share on social
I like doing both TV and live stuff, though it's nice to mix it up. Catherine Tate livemixnice Change image and share on social
How nice it would be to breeze through life and just brush things off. I never read reviews because I hate to lose more than I like to win; I experience negative emotions far greater than positive ones. Catherine Tate breezebrushemotion share on social
