I've read my grandmother's memoirs and she served as a nurse during World War II. What they had to do was incredible.

On the surface, it's really easy to dismiss certain characters, but sometimes you find that the most interesting parts are disappointingly shallow. It's your job as an actress to pull that person apart, and work out why they act the way that they do.

I love when people become obsessed with 'Downton.'

I'm really into strong, female roles - but they don't have to necessarily be loud - I'm just as interested in introverts too.

I trained as a ballet dancer - well, I started when I was two and a half, and was serious about it from when I was eight until I was 18.

The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you.

The first episodes I actually read for 'Downton,' Sybil was really intimidated and hadn't come into her own. So it's only in Series Two that she's become so headstrong. In general, I find it exciting to play strong, female roles because they're shocking.

I don't mind giving everyone a shock - including myself.

There's a reason hobble skirts are called hobble skirts. You literally can't move very far in them.

I trained as a ballet dancer till I was 18, so I would really like to get back to it. I'd love it if there was a part that meant I could do both acting and ballet, as they're both so close to my heart.
