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.

The only valid starting point is to understand what we all share - we have to find what we can all agree on.

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

I think all characters that we play are facets of ourselves.

I prefer to focus on the future. There are a lot of new stories to be heard.

I always get a little bit scared reading reviews.

I'm just broadening my craft and stretching my skills a little bit in different directions.
