I was really lucky for the friends that I had and loved every minute of it. I don't think I was a geek, but I loved the studies and we had a really good theater company at our school.

I've kind of gone from TV series to TV series or project to project, and I've wanted to get back in a rehearsal room. I feel like there's that exploration process, in a way, that you get in phases on jobs but I do wish I had that time [at school].

I think you have to be true to the script that you're given.

There's not much TV these days where you really get that element of surprise. There are so many spoilers all the time.

That's the thing about prep, is that it's a joy to have it there and you can spend all this time prepping, but ultimately you have to look at your script and turn up on the day. It's embedded in there somewhere but you have to forget it all and play the scene because we are storytelling.

Art informs life in so many ways, and vice versa.

The Gallifreyan balls are my favourite because you can juggle with them!
