Because I had grown up with Jane Austen novels and period dramas, I was very familiar with that period and that world.

I'm a multi-faceted human being.

For me, after emotionally intense roles, I'd need to take a step back because then there's the promoting of the film which is another job in itself.

I'm not turning my back on classical theater. It's all about opportunities and timing a lot of the time when things come up.

Because of my job, my hair gets played with a lot on set, so I try to give it little bit of breathing space when Im not working.

It is important to be conscious of the message that you're putting out there. It takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get a movie to the screen. I do feel a certain element of responsibility to say something worth saying with it, as well as entertainment.

I don't really have one dish. I'm a very improvisational cook. I sort of like to make things up as I go along. I'm quite creative in the kitchen.
