Comedy was why I got into acting the first place. Peter Sellers was a huge influence on my wanting to act. I grew up with him and found him hysterical. The Pink Panther films were an inspiration, from my earliest childhood days, when I was watching them with my brother and my dad. – Sally Hawkins

I remember once giving my dad some drawings and writings and said, If you could just give these to the publisher, that would be great. And I was about five! – Sally Hawkins
