For years, I was often afraid to speak up when I didn't fully understand a script. I'd tie myself in knots.

Othello' was my first Shakespearean discovery. I was obsessed with drama at school, and I studied the play for my English GCSE. Desdemona is the part that everyone wants, but Iago's wife Emilia is the one I've always been drawn to.

I love discovering tiny streets.

I get so excited about reading a new script.

I've had moments of thinking maybe I should go on Twitter. It's something that I've been shy about, and I've thought that maybe I should do it.

I had dance training from a very young age, 3 or 4... It taught me how to present myself, about preparation and working in an ensemble, and its something that carries with me to this day.

I don't mind wearing a corset; it informs your posture, changes the way you move, you can't slouch.
