I'm very accident-prone. The problem is I sort of just do things. I'm impulsive, and sometimes I don't think.

I think the older you get, the more lax you get, and the less romantic you are.

I think I'm slightly impulsive, sometimes organised and always in search of a bargain!

Over tens and hundreds of thousands of years, we evolved to find certain things stimulating, and as very intelligent, civilized beings, we're enormously stimulated by problem solving and learning.

To be honest, I'm not even thinking about America. If I was to start thinking about the enormity of 'Downton' and the size of the project, then I wouldn't be able to be very truthful to the work. I would start to watch myself too much. I'm not even thinking about it. Who knows what will happen.

Sometimes in life, things just fall in to my lap. I'm very blessed that way.
