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.

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

I'm into the law of attraction and quantum physics. Like cosmic ordering. It's all about thinking lovely things that you would like in life, and feeling good about them before they manifest, so that by the time they do, you don't want them because you're on to your next desire.

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

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

I think it's healthy to be insecure, to have nerves.
