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

I'm really enjoying living in Los Angeles. It's a great city to live in. I'm living a very suburban domesticated lifestyle out there - a two bedroomed little bungalow with two cars, and we're just driving around, going to meetings here and there - it's lovely!

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

You're always going to be more judgmental about your own performance than anyone else.

As long as you understand that you find happiness through family, friends and love, then money is just a nice bonus.

It's really an organic sort of process. You start off with the character on the page. You fall in love with that character and you have to represent that character well and I think it's just an evolution there. Using the accent and speaking the lines with the accent in fact opens the door to who the character really is.

I love doing kids' films.
