I did an A Level in Theatre Studies and had a really inspirational teacher, and then I just went on to university.

I have a really adaptable face, but when I am just being me, people always think I am younger than I am.

For any role, I pretty much always go to the script, first and foremost.

After filming, I cant wait to shake off all that 50s primness. Ill go out to a gig and dance ridiculously. I love to lose myself in music. Just letting go - its dead important.

My fondest memories are of watching lambs being delivered.

Im certainly not squeamish at all. The countryside makes you very aware of birth and death.

If feathers don't ruffle, nothing flies.
