Acting, and the privilege of being able to do it for a living, is so important to me. I don't turn up and just hope for the best. I really fret about it. I do my homework; I prepare myself for the experience of playing a particular character.
Glamour to me is about remaining graceful and understated.
We're the kind of family that gets together for Sunday lunch. I see my younger sister all the time.
One thing I love about being back is English rain. Looking out of the window now, it's raining, and the sky is dark; I love it. To me, those are reassuringly English things. I love it when it rains.

I was the kid who never won the races... I wasn't on the list of the high-achieving.
