If you steal other people's characters, it doesn't work with the context of the scripts and what is written, so I wanted to make her my own. I was petrified, in the beginning, because it's such an iconic character, especially being a young lady myself.

I hate watching myself on film because I am so judgmental.

I'm not interested in serial dating; I'd honestly rather be single.

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 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.

I was brought up to think a lot about food and have respect for it, both as medicine and something to eat and enjoy.

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