Have I met Justin Timberlake? I have! I've been to his house.
growing jeans watch wear
Growing up, we used to watch a lot of 'Indiana Jones' and 'Star Wars' and wear hand-me-down jeans and jumpers. I wasn't really one for dresses.
comedy
'Fresh Meat' is the first comedy thing I've ever done.
macs
I have a PC because I don't know how to use a Mac. Actors always have Macs with them, and when I try to use someone else's, I can't get the hang of it. It's very strange; I don't like it.
body death enemy foreign frightens health origin panic tangible though whilst
Even though we know the origin of diseases, panic sweeps. It's one thing that frightens us, because it's your health and your body - it's more like a tangible threat; it's not like a foreign enemy you can fight. That was really what was uppermost to many of us whilst making 'Black Death.'
buy cd dvds
I buy DVDs almost every week. I'm more of a film buff, so I usually buy more DVDs than CDs, but if I like someone's album, I will buy the CD of it.
stacked
I think I'd like my own plane, stacked with all my favourite films.
background keeps
A lot of my background is in theatre, so when you're on location, and the wind is really blowing, it's raining, and you've got mud all over you, it really keeps you on your toes.
distinct fits sort
I always think my face is quite nondescript - it sort of fits in to any period. It's not really distinct enough for you to remember me from something.
quite tomboy
I'm a tomboy and quite clumsy, so I'm more like the anti-sexy icon.
absolutely adore christmas kitten received
I absolutely adore Agatha Christie; so much so that when I received a kitten for my Christmas present, I called her Agatha, and I already have a cat called Hercule!
against gut time year
By the time you're 18, 19, you know yourself, and you shouldn't go against your gut feeling, which is a temptation in the first year of university.
anyone assumed audition dad good knew people picked quite school took
I knew I wanted to be an actress, but I hadn't ever really told anyone. I'd always got quite good grades, so people assumed I would go and do a 'normal' job. My dad took me to my first audition for drama school and picked me up without anyone knowing, really.
bit love protective quite suddenly taken yours
Sometimes when you film, you can be in a bit of a bubble, and then suddenly when you finish filming, it's taken out of your hands - it's not yours anymore, and we all love it so much that we feel quite protective of it.
