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

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

Actors, to a certain extent, never grow up, you see. It's an extension of being out in the back yard with a stick, only you're being paid to do it. It's borderline madness.

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.

I know there are some actors who are just brilliant at improvising and brilliant at just being in the moment and doing it there and then. I'm not one of those actors.

A few people have said that I should change my name and the spelling so that people can say it, but I don't want to, I like it the way it is.

I love doing kids' films.
