ballet both close dancer love meant till trained
I trained as a ballet dancer till I was 18, so I would really like to get back to it. I'd love it if there was a part that meant I could do both acting and ballet, as they're both so close to my heart.
ballet break dancer fell love mum trained
I trained as a ballet dancer and fell in love with Rudolf Nureyev; I thought him the most beautiful creature. My mum had to break it to me that not only was he gay, but he was dead.
side
I've got four piercings in my left, so we've dubbed my right one the 'period drama ear.' I have to be filmed from that side when I do emotional close-ups in 'Downton.'
period
You don't automatically assume everyone will fall for a period drama.
way embarrassing should
Everything you listen to when you are 17 should be embarrassing, otherwise you are way too cool.
numbers three goes-on
Before I go on stage, I knock three times. Three is my lucky number; I once went into an audition and was number 333 and got the best part ever.
thinking knows
At 17, we all think we know what we're doing.
jobs attitude thinking
I just really think every job I do, I get this gypsy attitude to money.
war grandmother nurse
I've read my grandmother's memoirs and she served as a nurse during World War II. What they had to do was incredible.
acting emotion adore
The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you.
people obsessed
I love when people become obsessed with Downton.
death thinking dying
You never think you're as old as you're ever going to get.
ankles three problem
Unfortunately I had an ankle problem and underwent three operations.
girl play interesting
Girls in scripts are often pretty but brainless, or geeky and no one likes them, so it's great to find richer roles. Chalk and cheese aspects of people are very interesting to play.
