I find it quite hard to sum up my relationship in a sound bite. I feel that it trivializes it for other people's pleasure. It's an adventure.

With Ricky Gervais, it's all shades of wrong, it's my kind of humor.

I'm not someone who likes to plan too much ahead.

I think for me the job always has to be the right thing at the right time.

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

I was never a girl that dreamt of being a princess and I never dreamt about my wedding day. I hated pink and I hated fairies. I only liked hanging out with boys. I remember throwing a tantrum if my mum put me in pink. I wasn't a particularly girly girl.

I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.
