I filmed 'Albatross' before I got 'Downton.' It's a coming-of-age movie about this girl who leaps into this family's life, like a whirlwind. She's ballsy and brash and wonderful, it was such an amazing character to play.

I don't know if I'm so righteous.

I absolutely adore Alessandra Rich, I think her dresses are stunning and she really knows how to cut and dress the female shape. Her stuff is really beautiful, stylish and a little bit quirky. I love it all!

At 17, we all think we know what we're doing.

Unfortunately I had an ankle problem and underwent three operations.

I love when people become obsessed with Downton.

And it's as you get older that you realize that the things that make you strange are the things that make you who you are. And that's a lovely place to get to.
