You can have a great script, and it can be a great show, but for whatever reason, it just doesn't take the public's interest.

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

I like 'X Factor' as much as the next person, but I do get overwhelmed with the amount of reality TV. It's such cheap programming and such a load of rubbish, most of it.

I'm happy with the way I look, but I'm not Hollywood beautiful.

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.

I was neurotic and weird from an early age.

I always play girls who are quite traumatised, or a plain girl, but I'm happy with that.
