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.

Every day is different, there's no day that's the same.

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 knew when I was 10 that I wanted to act full-time.

I think it's the people that you work with who change you the most.

To be honest, I don’t think there’s any other show like ‘Doctor Who’ at all.

I like period drama because everyone is so restrained, but they have all these emotions raging underneath.
