    • Trivia
      For Sense & Sensibility (2008) she bought an electric piano on eBay and learned all the songs, so it really was her playing.
    • Quotes
      [on Rapunzel (2008)] It is really wacky, a bit like [Pedro Almodóvar] in the humor and the storyline. It's written by the same guy [Ed Roe] who wrote the comedy show Smack the Pony (1999). It's very off-the-wall.
