I think if you have a good night's sleep, you can take on the world.
Kids hate anyone who is different.
When you're acting, you're escaping and hiding behind something. It's cliched to say, but there's a safety there.
Kicks are my forte. I've got strong legs and high kicks. And I've got very good reach, obviously.
But, as an actress, you don't want to run into these scenes, willy-nilly. The couple that I did do were important for the character and essential to the plot, to show what was actually going on between each character. It is great to be able to have that, and to be able to say certain things and have certain passions.
I am my own worst enemy. My friends and family will say, Youve got everything going for you right now, and I say, Oh yes, but! Which is not a good way to be.
Always take earplugs and an eye mask. It doesn't matter where you are. Even if you're in the best hotel, if there's road works outside, then you're screwed. So I take earplugs and an eye mask with me wherever I go.
My style is schizophrenic! One minute I'll be wearing bright girly dresses, and the next I'll be swinging towards more structured masculine things.
I'm a real animal lover. I adore animals of all shapes and sizes.
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.
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 will normally eat about seven or eight mince pies in one sitting. Sometimes, I can get to double figures. My friends, and probably most people, stop at two, so they probably dislike me a bit for it.
I don't think I've ever done a character like this before, so I couldn't really draw from previous roles. I've been known for doing a lot of comedies in England, so I don't think that would have worked. I completely went from scratch, with this one, and used the research and what was in the script, and spoke to Chris. It's all from in my mind ,rather than drawing from previous experiences or roles.
I don't think any actors love taking their clothes off on film, unless you're an exhibitionist, which I'm certainly not. Those are the scenes that you actually dread doing. But, so much more goes into this role. As an actress, it's all about reality, and I'm not a prude. I'm not someone who judges other people for taking their clothes off for roles. I'm not going to show everything, but nudity here or there doesn't faze me.
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.
The truth is, I'm not body confident.
I defy any woman that doesn't feel more elegant and more groomed and ready for an evening than if you have a blow dry.
I don't know what it is about me, but I don't think of myself as sexy; I never have.
Guinevere is not the Morgan type, where she's sultry and she knows she has this incredible female energy that she can use and utilize, and she's not necessarily used to having this power over men.
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.
I have been working since I was 11 on everything including period dramas.
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 don't think any actors love taking their clothes off on film, unless you're an exhibitionist, which I'm certainly not.
I love dressing up for events; to me it's almost like wearing a costume for the evening.
