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.

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.

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.

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

Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skills.
