I have been working since I was 11 on everything including period dramas.

I am my own worst enemy. My friends and family will say, 'You've got everything going for you right now', and I say, 'Oh yes, but!' Which is not a good way to be.

Kids hate anyone who is different.

At 11, I got my first job in a mini-series for America, and it was very exciting.

I was brought up to think a lot about food and have respect for it, both as medicine and something to eat and enjoy.

The 1950s would be my ideal decade because I'm actually very traditional; I enjoy being at home, and I'm a complete nester.
