When people feel good, they look good.

I think that period dramas just need zombies.

I can only show what I have received from the characters. That's what's scary because you're never going to be everyone's taste and you don't want to let people down. But, I can only do what I can do.

My first paid role was my first job out of drama school, which was Just William. It was a BBC TV show. I played Ethel.

Boarding school in Tring was a bit of a bubble that burst when I went to Hackney to go to drama school.

It took me a while to warm to the '20s costumes on 'Downton.' I love it when women accentuate their curves, and that era was all about hiding them. The shapes they wore then were in tune with female empowerment. Cutting off their hair and hiding their busts was a way of saying, 'We're equal to men!'

The first Disney movie I saw I think was 'Snow White.' I loved all the Disney princess movies.
