The World Motivation
My family weren't actors, and we didn't know any actors. It wasn't even something I was aware you could do as a job. I thought you had to be a Redgrave or a Barrymore before you were allowed to go to drama school.

I know some people are really comfortable with talking about their feelings and hopes and fears in public, but I'm not, and I don't think it's that extraordinary.
I'm guilty of it myself, sort of thinking, 'Classic novels: snoozeville.' But there is a huge amount of wonderful material.
Period drama is such a huge umbrella term: it seems to cover everything from Claudius to something from the 1920s.
I'm so lucky I got a career in my 30s because these young girls aren't allowed to have their 20s. It's all being documented.
Growing up, we were in a strict household, so we weren't allowed to have posters of our crushes and stuff on the wall - mine was Cristina Applegate.
I am so romantic about Gypsies. They're not allowed to do anything until they get married. So they all get married really young, at sixteen.
In America, they like to think, 'Do as many things as you can.' That's what I like about being here. 'You're a polymath! We call you multi-hyphenates!' I like the idea you're allowed work as much as you can.
I love rehearsing; it's the best part of the job.
Combat duty is strenuous and physically demanding, and I'm not the first person to notice that men and women are built differently. And while many will argue that women will only be allowed into combat arms units under the same requirements as their male counterparts, count me as skeptical.
