“I auditioned for a musical, and I can't sing. It was a kid's film musical, not a stage show, so I thought I could get away with it.”

“'The Borgias' is quite good because it does stick quite steadfastly to historical fact, so a lot of people who are interested in the historical element will love watching it, but they were also a ridiculously dramatic family.”

“As much as I'd love to be a successful actor, the thought of being recognised in the street is petrifying.”

“I enjoy flitting around between hair colours. I find it fascinating when people think I'm naturally blonde, as I've only been blonde for about two seconds.

“I don't really have any strategy for my career.”
