It's a lovely Q & A (and the sound quality does vary from caller to caller so it's worth persevering if you can). She's so sweet to all the callers, some of whom were very nervous, and genuinely interested in them, not just talking about herself (and she's also incredibly understanding about the technical problems).
Missy, I'm afraid no-one actually asked her what she's doing at the moment.
Here's a few of the main topics:
She did confirm that she spent the summer travelling in Thailand but is now back in the UK. She found the trip incredibly liberating and loved the whole solo backpacking experience.
She also says that film sets are her favourite place on earth.
Casting is (or should be) about the actor whose soul best fits the part (I
love that).
She was really homesick while working in LA.
Favourite dish: baked sweet potato although she has a passion for spicy food.
Size zero is "a pile of bollocks" (
love her).
There was one really sweet ML fan who called in and spoke about how Moonlight had inspired her to make friends all over the world.
She visits the board (Absolutely Sophia Myles) from time to time and is always happy to see everyone there having so much fun.
She admires people who aren't afraid to be themselves.
She enjoys talking to fans direct without a publicist getting in the way and always tries to respond to fan mail personally, but (like all the rest of us in the UK) she lost a load of mail recently due to problems with the postal service. Two callers took the opportunity to thank her for writing back to them.
She loves Gavin and Stacey (which won't mean anything unless you're in the UK - it's a comedy show).
Her perfect day would be spent horse-riding with friends in the UK countryside on a sunny day.
Her advice is come to London if you get the chance because it's amazing (
), just not at the moment because "the weather's shit".
Learning good lines is easy; learning bad lines is hard.
She sends best wishes to everyone for Christmas and the New Year.
