I'm a shape shifter. ”

I'm really cocky. Or - I've been thinking about this word a lot - I'm 'mischievous,' and I want to make light of things and push the boundaries. ”

I have way more bravery than common sense, but you always assume things are going to be so difficult, and then when you're actually faced with them, you prevail. It's human nature. ”

The opulence and grandeur of a lot of period drama really helps you get into character and appreciate the luxury of good quality. If you're fashion-minded in any way, you can't help but be incredibly inspired and apply elements to your own style. ”

British period drama is always seen as kind of perfect and beautiful and lovely, but I don't think subcultures have been shone a light on like 'Peaky Blinders' has done. ”

The Tudors' was ground-breaking in the sense that it did ruffle the feathers of classical historians and alter the way people did period drama at the time. ”

Most women I know are not actresses, but they work for the U.N. or are documentary filmmakers, anthropologists. ”

I like to think that I represent myself as a strong woman, so to work with other strong women I find very inspiring. ”

I was never an ingenue. I've traveled the globe, I've backpacked through South America, I've done conservation work in Africa. I was never the girl who knew nothing of the world. ”

I want to stretch myself as much as I can whilst I can, just work and try all different things and have a good time. ”
