I had a dresser who literally squeezed me in like Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.

I love histories. I love learning. I love books that talk about people who made a real impact on history, because it always has to do with who they were at that time and what their personalities were like and what their strengths and weaknesses were.

And when you're with a great crew like we had, it becomes a thrilling, again, collaboration, which is to me one of the great aspects of the process that you go through. I find myself at this point in my career, getting potentially, incredibly bored if I stand around a lot, so that's why I really like the pace of television.

It puts you in a kind of a strange situation where everybody is looking at every little thing you do.

I grew up with a house full of dogs. My mother was a great nature lover and taught us to have almost a religious sense of respect for the natural world.

I don't like public venues. I never know what to wear.

I never got into this business thinking I'd be like a movie star.
