I've never been that person who wants a Rolls Royce or wants to live in a mansion or what have you.

I just feel incredibly lucky. I went to drama school and about 28 of us graduated. I graduated from drama school in 2000, and I would say about two of us are working and able to make a living out of it. It is a tough profession. To have the kind of success I have had is really amazing, and I am incredibly grateful.

I always find filming stressful. I get very caught up thinking about my character - 'Am I doing it right? Should it be done this way?'

I was really nervous, because I was certain it was going to be bigger than anything I'd ever done before. But I was relieved when I actually discovered that there was a family atmosphere on the set, with a brother-sister team, Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson running it all.

Without education, you really can't dream as a child.

I have many different sides; I can be the life and soul of the party - or a wallflower.

At Cambridge, it was the weirdest culture. Everyone pretended they didn't do any work, yet it was so competitive.
