I was seen dancing at school by a director, who asked me to be in a TV play. And it had a huge impact. So I think thats what really started me off.

It's not so much the dressing up, but I love the idea of moving and existing in a different time.

I don't believe in expending energy on something you can't do anything about. If there was some easy way of fixing things, I'd probably do it.

The funny thing is I'm not bothered or sad about being on my own - after all I've never had a husband.

I've never been married and I've no more desire to be married now than I ever have. I hate bureaucracy and I am not religious.

Truly charismatic people, in my experience, dont come along very often.

I'm trying to learn to smoke, which is rather weird when everyone is trying to stop. I'm not a smoker. But my character only smokes as an affectation.
