I love being in scenes where I get to be part of a Maggie Smith put-down. A Dowager Countess put-down is always a special moment. Especially if you're working on set and she managed to do one off set at you.

I remember running up to my dad and saying, 'I want to be an actor when I grow up!' And him saying, 'Yeah, well we'll talk about it.'

I'm actually just an actor.

People's minds are overloaded with information.

In Downton Abbey, foreplay is basically hanging your clothes up properly

I never get recognised.
