I have been working since I was 11 on everything including period dramas.

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

And, the sets that they built are just so beautiful. It's like going to a completely foreign country and experiencing a new culture that you've never seen before, especially at Camelot. It's just so magical. Personally, it's just so much more interesting than wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and walking around somebody else's house.

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

I'm trying to cultivate a long-term career rather than get every job right this minute. That'd be putting too much pressure on myself. I'd go crazy if I thought like that.

I don't know what it is about me, but I don't think of myself as sexy; I never have.

I will normally eat about seven or eight mince pies in one sitting. Sometimes, I can get to double figures. My friends, and probably most people, stop at two, so they probably dislike me a bit for it.
