The last time I cried? My godchildren went to see Taylor Swift in concert and got to meet her. They literally ran toward her and hugged her, and it was amazing. I got big bonus points for it. I'll remind them when they're teenagers.

I love discovering tiny streets.

When I was a child, I went to stage school three times a week in the evenings - singing, ballet, tap, modern and acting, and I loved it.

If Shakespeare was around today I would ask him out to dinner. The only thing I don't like about him is the way he did his hair.

I don't get recognized all the time, but it tends to happen more in America, and people are so lovely when they do.

Shakespeare and his work will always be relevant. He wrote those pieces hundreds of years ago and we haven't really changed as humans, have we? We have to deal with love, honour and adultery now - people were the same then, too - that's what's so wonderful and powerful.

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