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.

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 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 love when I am outside my comfort zone.

People can relate to reading a book for the first time and the world starts to create, even without you prepping for it.

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

You always want to translate as much emotion as you can, even if it's broader with bigger emotions.
