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

I'm not much of a baby freak - I like them when they're older.

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'd hate to be a sex symbol. Because you're always having to live up to an image. I haven't got time to sit around doing my nails.

I am extremely content in my life - sometimes to the point where I really should find something to moan about!

Actors think they're far more important than they are, and that can only lead to hurt. People with colossal self-importance have very far to fall.
