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.

Guinevere is just head over heels and doesn't know how to handle these new emotions that she's feeling, as a young woman. Unfortunately, she can't reign it all in, all the time. And, even though she tries to do the right thing and be the good girlfriend and have her morals, she slips up a little bit.

Kids hate anyone who is different.

I was very aware of the legend, from such an early age. Being a Brit, you are so aware of King Arthur, Camelot, Guinevere and Morgan, the witch. Merlin is this mad magician who's cloaked in mystery. It has that mystery about it. And, it's a lead role for a woman that's strong and has a real journey to take.

I have to be careful not to do so many comedy airhead roles from now on. I've turned down a couple already.

I don't think any actors love taking their clothes off on film, unless you're an exhibitionist, which I'm certainly not.

I have no sense of direction at all. Thank the Lord for my TomTom, otherwise I'd spend my whole life lost.
