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

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

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 love dressing up for events; to me it's almost like wearing a costume for the evening.

I'm neurotic about children. I see dangers everywhere - sharp corners, stairs.

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.
