I don't think I've ever done a character like this before, so I couldn't really draw from previous roles. I've been known for doing a lot of comedies in England, so I don't think that would have worked. I completely went from scratch, with this one, and used the research and what was in the script, and spoke to Chris. It's all from in my mind ,rather than drawing from previous experiences or roles.

I hardly ever missed school, and I always got my work in on time. I was a good student and always got top grades.

Kids hate anyone who is different.

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

Guinevere and Arthur's story is so about the passion. It's about the sexual attraction between them. You can't have that story and show that sexual attraction with them kissing, and then shut the door. It just doesn't work. It's such an important part of their relationship and what happens in Camelot later on. It's who they are and how they bond.

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

I think if you have a good night's sleep, you can take on the world.
