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

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

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.'

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.

The weather in California is so much hotter than it is in England that it's absolutely changed my style. I have many more dresses and shorts than I ever thought I would coming from U.K.! It's so much easier to dress femininely in a warm climate.

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

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