I attempted to fish in Scotland and I managed to hook a dog. It was a horrible moment but the dog turned out to be fine.
Personally, I'm an advocate for short engagements. Long sometimes means there is a reason for it. Two years engaged and no wedding... I'd be upset.
I think a shot can actually influence a scene in a huge way. For example, comedy is always better in a two-shot. What's between the characters is what's funny. So you learn about these things as you go along.
I don't really watch that much TV, to be honest.
You feel very much like a puppet, but it had been what I was accustomed to - so you just get on with it and try to find something that rings true.
Americans are a lot more open, of course. There's something more declamatory in the way you express emotions. It's a stereotype but it's true. British people can appear repressed in expressing emotions. Not very good at self-evaluating, or affirming situations, touching, anything like that.
I think for me the job always has to be the right thing at the right time.
I'm such a diva on set.
You can go at the premiere it's at Disneyland.
I had a non-existent knowledge of Queen Victoria's early years. Like everyone else, I thought of her as an old lady dressed in black. My mom had told me about her, though, that she had a very loving relationship with Albert, that they had lots of kids, and that he died young.
I think I'm drawn to characters with complexity or who are under duress in some way and have some conflict going on.
It's funny, because when you work on a set, everyone is watching you. You are being observed by everyone.
I'm not someone who likes to plan too much ahead.
I'm about to do my second Bikram yoga class in Anchorage, Alaska. It's the only way to stay warm. I've got to get into shape. I've been eating nothing but fish and chips.
