Maria on Joseph
"I do love live audiences, the energy you get from them can't be replaced by a camera. But when I saw myself on screen afterwards, it didn't look like me, it was much better. Two hours of make-up: no bags, no lines, nothing. And they've even got this digital thing to make my teeth whiter... I'd love to do more filming, but I put on a stone because all you do is eat. In the theatre you don't get to know people that well, because you're always in the wings in the dark. In a film you're there for months, all day, so we laughed and ate for three months together."
