Day to day, I always wear eyeliner on my top lid and mascara. I like to do my own makeup, it depends on the event.

It can be very intense being an actor; it can be quite a small world. Then you speak to your friend who is a scientist and they have a completely different perspective.

There's such a sense of theatre in getting glammed up; it's like putting on a play or short film.

I put every ounce of myself into my work, but also it's important that I don't miss every single wedding of my best friends.

It's nice to have some continuity you can come back to. I feel that in coming home, coming back to London.

I have a great plain blue shirt from APC, and a denim one from Dolce that I wear constantly. It's hard to find the perfect denim shirt, but this is it.

I would describe my look as 'ladylike rock chick.
