I cry at films and TV and even adverts.
I don't really get recognised very much.
I think as an actor you're used to having to travel, so wherever the work, is you're willing to go.
I think it must be so hard to start your career with everyone going on about how gorgeous you are. To be in that bracket must be so pressurised.
I'm from Southampton.
I'm not recognised much at all.
I'm rubbish at Twitter.
In a way, it's good not to be recognised as much off screen.
In the U.K., there is a sort of obsession with class.
It's beneficial to play against your type; to be chameleon-like.
Sometimes we do things that are really awful.
There is no way I'd have wanted to live in the Twenties. It was really crap for women.
There's something about wearing clothes that your great-grandmother might have thought were nice that makes you look older.
