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

Cuba is such a beautiful country, and everywhere you go, there's music and people dancing - especially in Havana.

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

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 do believe in an afterlife. I try to be at one with people and try to love life as much as I can.

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

After playing Saffy in 'Ab Fab', I needed to take time out from acting to see if I really wanted to do it. I had been doing it for a very long time and I was being sent the same sort of scripts again and again.
