You can't come out of drama school and think, 'It's all going to be amazing.' You have to expect to work in a bar for at least five years and be a waitress for maybe two!

I grew up around horses, but acting and riding on camera is a whole different thing.

I looked around one stage school when I was maybe nine. It just scared the bejesus out of me. I was incredibly open, and the girls seemed fierce and determined.

The '90s were really just bad for fashion and hair.

I was at a Golden Globes after party and Channing f**king Tatum came up to me, and his stunning missus, Jenna Dewan. And they said, 'We call each other moon of my life and my sun and stars’ and all that. I was like, 'I cannot contain this. Please, can we all have something sexual together? You're both beautiful. Even just a hug'.

Don’t do drugs, don’t have sex, and don’t touch your eyebrows.

The calibre of TV's changing. It's becoming much more epic. To rival film, definitely.
