Every girl wants to play Bridget Jones.

I'm grateful to be working. The most exciting thing for me is that I never get bored - I've done comedy, drama, musical theatre and now Shakespeare.

I don't usually get to play sophisticated women. I usually do the old scrubs, chavs or slappers.

I swore on screen when I got the Olivier for 'Legally Blonde,' I was so surprised. Awards where the public vote mean a lot. I'm a big Twitter fan and like talking to people who support me.

I'm just some commoner trying to work in acting.

I'm such a weirdo. I'm animal-mad, so my ideal date would probably be something involving going to see animals.

I prefer theatre to television - you get to feel the love.
