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.
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.

She really thought what she and Jamie had was love, but it just wasn't meant to be.
I have just seen George Clooney outside and thought that was quite cool.
It's brilliant that this dress has raised this much. I know it will go a long way to help the people facing this food crisis in East Africa.
