You can learn any accent you want. It's a fascinating thing.

My sport is biking. I'm not much of a gym person, but I like being outside - hiking, canoeing, camping.

I didn't grow up watching a lot of TV.

I realized through my personal travels how little I know about certain conflicts, because I was too vain or self-absorbed to ask the questions. That's been the focus while I'm in my thirties - to become an accomplished woman, rather than some actress.

I have a kind of boring personal life, to the paparazzi anyway, and I don't hang with the cool crowd.

The real challenge is to give a really nuanced performance and really push myself, to make sure that we see a very complete picture of a woman living with Asperger's. Of course, I'm always intrigued. I learn so much from the show about storylines that actually happen on the border.

I dreamt of becoming a ballet dancer. I studied with the Royal Academy of London for 11 years, and that did not pan out, but my love for being on stage was born there. And then, I actually went to drama school in Paris, France. That's where it first started.
