I did model for a little while part-time, but I wasn't a bloody model, and I am definitely not that horrible thing 'model-turned-actress.'

The 1950s would be my ideal decade because I'm actually very traditional; I enjoy being at home, and I'm a complete nester.

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.

When you're acting, you're escaping and hiding behind something. It's cliched to say, but there's a safety there.

At 11, I got my first job in a mini-series for America, and it was very exciting.

I've always wanted to play Guinevere. I just asked Chris what he thought, and he steered me in the right directions. We just wanted to make her young and able to make mistakes, which I think is important.

I'm a real animal lover. I adore animals of all shapes and sizes.
