I suppose I am one of those lucky people who eats what they like and doesn't gain too much weight.

I actually love doing period pieces, purely because it takes you into a different world, mentally. The clothes you have to wear are so far from our everyday clothes that it immediately helps with the character and putting you in that mind frame.

Always take earplugs and an eye mask. It doesn't matter where you are. Even if you're in the best hotel, if there's road works outside, then you're screwed. So I take earplugs and an eye mask with me wherever I go.

Guinevere has been done quite a few times, especially as a mature young woman, who either is the damsel in distress or the warrior, strong-willed woman. Chris wanted a variety of things in this Guinevere. He predominately wanted her to be real and natural, and make mistakes and be passionate, and be the feisty young girl, but then also completely naive, innocent and ignorant, at the same time.

I have to be careful not to do so many comedy airhead roles from now on. I've turned down a couple already.

I don't think any actors love taking their clothes off on film, unless you're an exhibitionist, which I'm certainly not.

I'm a big handbag lover and will always have one with me.
