People recognise me when I'm holiday on the beach.

If you're wearing something I like, I will come over and ask where you got it from. I'm not shy!

As I get older, my skin shows more of how I am feeling, like a mirror. If I am stressed, or not getting enough sleep, I see it in my face right away.

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.

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.

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.
