I was working in the States when Brexit was going on back home in England. I often think that maybe I got a little complacent on the situation since I wasn't physically there. That's when I realized, Wow, anything is possible.

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.

It's not often that you get a chance in one role to do the glamour bit and then strip off all the makeup and reveal the real person beneath the façade. Usually, it's either a glamorous role or a raw, emotional role.

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've always had an ear for languages and music so it's something I'm continually working on but it's fun.

As a biracial girl growing up in England, I'd never really seen any historical characters who looked like me depicted on film before that weren't being brutalized or playing slaves.

I'm a multi-faceted human being.
