I liked to be in my own company, so when I came home from school, I'd just go up to my room and hang out by myself. I wouldn't really have friends over or go to see friends much.
I just enjoyed telling stories. I enjoyed watching films and reading and becoming someone else. I spent a lot of time on my own when I was younger; I enjoyed my own company and still do, so it was a source of escapism.
You want a career. You don't want to do a couple of good films and then your career is over.
Period dramas seem to take actors to the next level because they do so well in America.
I don't want to be one of those young actors who is around for a couple of years and melts off the scene.
I don't think, as an actress, you want to be beautiful. It's actually a disadvantage because that's not where all the interesting parts lie.
Since Kate Middleton came around, some people think I'm related to her, but unfortunately, there's no connection.
I think I would've been a bit terrified to have gone and done a lead straight away. Obviously great if you do, but it's all about longevity.
As I got older, I auditioned for drama school and shocked myself by getting in.
I was very, very shy in public and school, and quite loud and brash at home.
