When you get scripts and you really enjoy reading them, you know it's a good project.

A movie that makes me cry every time is 'Billy Elliot.' That scene where he's dancing in the hall, and his dad walks in. And the first time his dad can see how amazing he is dancing, but he's so conflicted with kind of his own feelings towards it. Oh, it's so emotional.

I find if my character is more glamorous, I become more conscious of what I look like.

You do have to challenge yourself. I think scared is a good thing.

I'd always wanted to do costume drama, but period dramas often become very wooden. Just because they're born in the 1400s, all of a sudden people start losing their sense of humour or their personalities.
