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

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

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

I hate watching myself on film because I am so judgmental.

Kicks are my forte. I've got strong legs and high kicks. And I've got very good reach, obviously.

Some people who meet me might think I starve myself, because there's such an assumption that being thin involves putting yourself through torture and punishing your body, but I'm just naturally skinny - you should watch me demolish a ploughman's lunch.
