“They always call 'Poldark' a 'bodice-ripper,' but I don't think a sing...” — Eleanor Tomlinson Quote

They always call 'Poldark' a 'bodice-ripper,' but I don't think a single bodice has ever been ripped.

The hardest thing about this industry is not working.

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

I'd like to have a solid, classy career with a good CV of work. I want to be known for acting, not my personal life. Women like Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet - they're intelligent and sophisticated. I want to be given those opportunities.

I have been incredibly lucky. My parents are actors; they've been the safety blanket around me.

It doesn't matter how rich you are - you know when you're being ripped off.

I ripped both hamstrings.

I remember coming second in a cross-country run and this sergeant major ripped in to me, saying 'you knacker, you waster - you should be second to no one.' That really got to me.

We've shown what true people power can accomplish. They thought that the ACA would be repealed in Trump's first 100 days. They thought that people were going to sit back and let their health care be ripped from them. But they were wrong. We marched, we chanted, and we blockaded.

I ripped off half my hair with a waxing strip, and it didn't grow back for, like, 5 months.
