age danced group ten workshop
I danced from the age of three, so I was always going to do something performance-related. I got into the Television Workshop drama group in Nottingham when I was 11 and went there for ten years.
characters cop enjoy follow watch
When I watch cop shows, I really enjoy them because you can really follow the story and get involved, and the characters are always really interesting.
dad god love mum people round staying sunday
Oh, I love Nottingham. I know some people go, 'Oh God, there's not much going off there,' but I like staying in and going round to my mum and dad's for a Sunday roast.
afford hard helpful hours jobs love lucky people respect
If you have a passion and love for something, it's hard to give it up. I had jobs where the people were helpful and let me go to auditions, and I'd make up the hours another day. I was lucky in that respect: I could afford to get to London.
background children eventually life married normal
Eventually I just want to live a normal life. I want to get married and have children and cook, wash... all the things that I do now. My background is very normal and steady, and that's what I like.
great lots people school
There are lots of people who haven't been to drama school who have great talent and can be discovered.
job work
It is Method on 'This is England;' it is. But it can't be Method on every job because it just doesn't work for everything.
anybody asks hang madonna
If Madonna asks anybody to go and hang out with them for a month, they'd all do it.
people
I know that people who have been to RADA and LAMDA can smash accents and do Shakespeare: all those things that I never really trained in.
desperate luxuries
I don't need a trailer; I don't need to have the luxuries of what is Hollywood, which is why I'm probably not so desperate to get there.
figure journalist
A journalist can make or break a case, in a way, because they can figure out things the police can't, or they can destroy people's lives.
certainly characters means might whether
Yes, I certainly look for strong characters - whether that means they're strong in their vulnerability or strong in the way they might be attractive to lots of blokes.
job kept
My first job ever was on 'Peak Practice.' I just had to walk up the stairs. They kept the take where I slipped slightly, which was annoying.
female few stunts
I'd like to do something where there's a strong female character and some action. I've done a few stunts in the past.
