00:00Tell me a bit about Sally's character.

00:01What do you mean about my character?

00:03I can talk for myself, thank you very much.

00:05She's always been very opinionated, but yes, she's my alter ego.

00:08So she gets to be naughtier and cheekier than I do.

00:12I be the, you know, the sensible one and I get to be the naughty one.

00:16Yes, whether it's a kid's show or an adult show, varying levels of naughtiness.

00:21And so tell me, Sally, tell me a bit about your personality.

00:24Well, I'm loud, in case you hadn't noticed.

00:26And I can sing, and I'm funny, and obviously I'm extremely attractive.

00:32So, clearly, you know, she's a superstar, of course.

00:36And how does Sally get along with the rest of the characters, or the rest of the people in the books?

00:40Well, you know, I'm the boss, so it's fine.

00:43You know, but we all get along.

00:44You have to when you're in such a tiny little space all the time.
