Ill-fitted T-shirts stretched over a gut are my pet hate. And if the colour's faded - ugh.

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.

I have to admit, I go through phases of being good and bad. When I'm being good, I go to the gym three to four times a week. I do much better in a class with other people. I like aerobics and circuit training.

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

A lot of period pieces we see are adaptations of novels - we always know the story.

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

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