My agent asked if I fancied Robin Hood and I thought: 'Yeah, why not?' I hadn't watched it, to be honest, but I'd seen bits and knew it was really popular Saturday family viewing with heaps of action. I thought it would be great fun. I was up for a good old play-fighting and the scripts were terrifically exciting.

The condition of my skin changes often, depending on the season or if I'm traveling a lot.

Fashion does seem to have a 20s comeback every few seasons, and I completely see why. Its a very feminine look: the fabrics and the shapes are very pretty and distinctive.

When something is dramatized it provokes a much more emotive response than just hearing a story on the news.

When I'm filming I live out of a suitcase, so everything is thrown everywhere. In real life, I'm a bit tidier.

It's nice to bring the changes with everything you do. As an actor, that's what you want to do, all the time.

It's very kind of 'Wuthering Heights' where my parents' house is, moors and deserted. It's very wild and mystic.
