The most uncomfortable costumes have been when you've had to wear a corset.

The hardest thing about this industry is not working.

I'm not interested in being the damsel in distress; I want someone who has her own storyline and her own mission - not a woman who, to use a comedy term, is just there to provide the feed line to someone else's joke.

I travel a lot with work... to and from Cornwall and Bristol, so I find myself on lots of trains.

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

Let's unbutton the corsets and see what's really going on, I say.

Movement is very important to a character, no matter what period you're working in. So when it came to playing Emma Jung and lacing up in the corset, it was really not a foreign thing for me.

There was a time when I thought I was never going to get out of a corset. I wondered when I would get the chance to play a modern girl in a pair of jeans. Now people know me so much from 'Gavin & Stacey,' playing precisely that part.

I don't think I'm a neck actor in otherthings. But in Bridgerton,' particularly with the way the corset sits andthe attentionon the neck, it makes you hold yourshouldersacertain way.
