I remember once giving my dad some drawings and writings and said, 'If you could just give these to the publisher, that would be great.' And I was about five!

I grew up with 'Jane Eyre,' reading it at school, and it's one of those, I think, for a lot of women, a lot of girls, it's the iconic story and so many girls relate to Jane Eyre and her character.

I love disappearing. That's what acting is. For me it's about putting on a persona, stepping into a pair of shoes. It's my face, but I'm using it as a tool for that spirit, that character.

My feet are like something from another age - prehistoric and troll-like. I keep expecting them to talk, they have that much character.

My knees buckled. It's the last thing I expected

I'll try and get through as much as my voice and nerves and knees will let me.
