I was brought up in a very open, rural countryside in the middle of nowhere. There were no cell phones. If your lights went out, you were lit by candlelight for a good four days before they can get to you. And so, my imagination was crazy.

When I go home to England, my friends all make fun of me for sounding American.

If people want to criticize a performance, that I understand. I think that's important. What's going on with this industry now is crazy. That obsession with celebrity is madness. I try as hard as I can not to read that stuff. Because most of the time it's a bit... factual. And it's frustrating because it's not about what you're setting out to do as an actor.

I hadn't really even been thinking about TV. To me, it seemed like such a commitment, almost like a marriage.

I just want to work forever. I absolutely love what I'm doing. I learn all the time from all these amazing artists.

For a woman, body image is always a palpable thing. Weirdly, for me, the only time I don't care is when I'm in character.

I never want to sell my soul for something I don't believe in. Because guess what? Somebody somewhere in the world would have believed in that part and should be playing it - who am I to not allow that person that opportunity?
