Quotes from Eleanor Tomlinson

After filming the first season of 'Poldark,' I went with the cast on a trip to Iceland. We started off in Reykjavik and then went into the mountains and swam in naturally heated pools.

I'm one of those people who loves love. I'm fascinated by it: what it does to us, how it messes us up.

Sometimes it's nice as an actress just to keep something back about yourself so there's a little bit of mystery.
