I could do an American accent, if I were immersed in the accent, meaning if I were living back in Los Angeles and rehearsing and auditioning the whole time.

There's a physicality and confidence to Americans; they're very present. That's something I enjoy being around because it rubs off on you.

And I guess I have a face and a look that sort of lends itself to period costume!

Being attractive, it's not something I do consciously. It's incredibly flattering that people think I appeal to women. But that was a gift from my parents.

I've never been around pets. I didn't have pets as a child.

Television is what we're all very attracted to because that's where the best writing and the best characters are.

I'm determined not to lose my name. It's who I am. It has neither aided my progress nor hampered it. It's just who I am.
