My dad's so likeable, you wouldn't feel in competition with him. If any boyfriends have ever felt that, they're long gone.

I love a bit of glamour - who doesn't? - but I probably wouldn't be able to pull it off.

Ever since I can remember feeling love for my parents, I've been frightened of losing them.

I wouldn't miss the fame. I don't go out hunting for it. I try to avoid it and to slip into the background wherever I go.

I just love doing costume dramas; I am very lucky, as I see myself as a part-time time traveller.

I love to travel with my family or my two best friends because I completely trust them. I forced my two best friends into learning to scuba dive with me in Sri Lanka - it was amazing but also hideous because we were learning in very difficult seas.

I don't get inoculations or take anti-malaria tablets when I go abroad, I take the homeopathic alternative, called 'nosodes', and I'm the only one who never goes down with anything.
