For me it is a story about growing up, making mistakes and falling in love and I think that's as relevant today as it was 200 years ago.
He was completely amazing, ... He did love having six women around him all the time. We took him to a party one night but he was wearing a mask, because he can't be around cigarettes but felt anyone who wanted to smoke could, so he came with a little mask he wore.
It's fantastic to have the opportunity to work abroad, and do all that, but there is a certain point where you're just like, 'Oh, I'd love to work at home.'
History was always my favorite subject anyway, and I love reading, kind of, biographies and that sort of stuff.
At this particular time, I probably am more comfortable with myself. Just now I'm having a lovely time.
It's a difficult thing when you try and make a film of a book that you really love. You have about two hours to tell the story, and it's never going to be enough.
I know acting is a profession where one minute, you're hot and the next minute, it can all go away,
I wanted to put up a 'Do Not Disturb' sign because I was so embarrassed about anyone going in.

They were really great, they were sweet guys, ... Very respectful, great to my mum, had good conversations; they'd explain all their different tattoos to her.

But they were really, really nice to me.
We had the Bennet giggle. It's a high-pitched, screaming, chaotic monkey-like giggle that would get us into it. Joe wanted us to always speak over each other so you got the feeling of people who are so used to each other, they don't even listen anymore. I do think it will make it more accessible.
(I am) really proud to have been asked to work with such an iconic house as Chanel, and thrilled to follow the extraordinary women who have been associated with it before.
I was terrified of taking on such a well-known character - to the point where I didn't want to do it. But my agent persuaded me and I'm very glad she did.
