Rose Leslie quotes about
character thinking long
I don't really think it matters if you go into stage or TV as long as you do a bit of character work, really.
fun thinking healthy
It's never fun to be scared [about stage fright] but I think that it is important and it's healthy to always push yourself.
thinking nerves doe
I think booze is a good ritual. I think knocking back a shot of whiskey does calm the nerves and helps a lot.
thinking play trying
You always try to play it off cool, but even if I think I have a certain laidback body language when I'm meeting someone who I greatly admire, I still have this horrible tendency to go bright red.
experience loved shot six surrounded time wonderful
I loved my experience on 'Downton Abbey.' We shot it in six months, and it was the first time I'd ever been on TV, and I was surrounded by my friends. It was a wonderful, wonderful time.

I definitely think it opened doors for me and what was so fantastic about 'Downton' being showed over in the States, was that it helped get me noticed.
family films loving watched
I remember loving 'Braveheart,' and I still do! It was one of those films my family had on video and we watched over and over again.
absolute happened phenomenon taken
When I left 'Downton Abbey,' it hadn't yet taken off and become the phenomenon that it is, to this day. That all happened after I left. But, it was fabulous to be a part of it and to be a part of the cast. We had an absolute ball!
absolutely creeps creepy great spiders
It's kind of ridiculous, but I hate creepy crawlers. Like centipedes. It's just the fact that they have so many legs! I am not great with spiders either. That absolutely creeps me out.
amazing bush family incredibly loving lucky privilege raised short silly stuff trees wonderful
I have had the most wonderful childhood, and I was raised in a very loving family. And it was nothing short of an amazing privilege because I was incredibly lucky to be able to play up in trees and make it like silly dens in a bush and stuff like that.
believe definitely heaven lovely opposed seen side tap
The universe is so enormous, and we have no idea what's on the other side of the galaxy. It's a lovely thing to be able to tap into. I'm definitely not opposed to any supernatural ideas, but I've never encountered any. I believe in spirits, but I've never seen a ghost. And I believe in Heaven and Hell.
alone believe head images infinite says sparks using versions word
I believe that we're not alone. How can we be alone in an infinite universe? I'm using the word 'alien' with a little trepidation because I know that sparks so many different versions of that word, and there are so many different images that come into one person's head when someone says it.
couple knew life loved lovely quite taste time tried whale won
For the first time in my life I tried whale. It was very chewy and quite fatty. My friend had had whale before, so I knew it would be quite blubbery. It was delicious. I loved it. It was smoked, so it had a lovely kind of tangy taste to it. We had it a couple of nights. I was won over. It was very yummy.
archery life love season trained
I do love archery in my day-to-day life because I find it very therapeutic, and I've trained every season with the bow and arrow.
