I love to see how far you're able to go, both in skills but also emotionally how far I can push myself.

I was able to actually combine dance and acting, which was a dream come true.

I started off when I was seven years old doing musicals. I was in ‘Les Miserables’ and ‘The Sound of Music,’ and my mum’s an actress. My parents divorced when I was young, and when she couldn’t find a babysitter, I was in the wings, sleeping.

I've had the chance to work with some really good filmmakers. It's put me in a situation where I've been surrounded by great actors, and for me it's been a lot about standing in the background and watching people work.

Everyone surrounding you has gone through similar things. The search for love or the desire to have a family or the loss of a child.

I endured quite a few injuries when I was younger and had my first surgery on my foot when I was 15. But I love dancing. 'Anna Karenina' was great for me as it meant I could combine the two and I actually went back and did some classes.

As an actor, I still have to remind myself of daring to let go and not to repeat myself.
