A lot of period dramas can appear quite arch to most people, stuffy.

I'm kind of effectively bipolar.

I do try hard to pick roles that differ. I love that about the job. I think the variety that's out there is to be taken advantage of and I enjoy that element of shape shifting with everything.

I chop a lot of onions because I love cooking, and the times where I've never cried chopping onions is when I'm not thinking about it, when I'm talking to someone or I'm listening to music.

I appreciate a slow-burn romance. In most movies, everyone is just tearing their clothes off in the first scene.

I really asked myself, “Oh, my god, how am I going to do this?” That’s what I aspire to, every time I take on a new role.

Well, you wear underwear. That helps.
