“It's nice, in a weird way, to be with my family.”
“I think Bridgerton' transports you into a different world. It's witty, vibrant, fun and sexy and yet its themes are relevant to the world we're living in today.”
“I grew up in the era of Keira Knightley, so I've seen every one of her movies a few times.”
“I've always said - I don't know why - that I didn't like horses and was scared of them.”
“With Daphne, there was a huge part of me going, This is my dream job, literally my dream role, but there's no way I'm going to get it. So I may as well just do it how I want to do it, and not think about anyone else.' That was quite a good thing.”
“The special thing about Bridgerton' that I think not a lot of shows really do is that every season centers around a different love story.”
“I actually have a history of doing quite a few period dramas, but I think I really specifically wanted to do the Regency era, and to be able to do high-society Regency era is even more amazing.”
“As for actors, I'm hugely in awe of Cate Blanchett - and Meryl Streep, obviously.”
“Apparently, sitcoms are like the dream job, I've been told. The hours are great, apparently.”
“I've always said that I couldn't dance.”
“There was a lot of giggling on the Bridgerton' set.”
“Daphne is the eldest of the Bridgerton daughters, so she is the first to make her debut on the marriage mart and she's waited her whole life for this moment. When we meet her, she conforms to the social pressures placed on young women at the time but as she evolves, she very much finds her voice.”
“I remember having my first fitting and being like, 'Oh, my God,' because they literally built a factory just for Bridgerton' costumes.”
“What I love about Bridgerton' though is that the women in it do have their own agency within the context of the time. In fact, Daphne is actually quite a feminist character because she's in control of her destiny.”
“When you're on the cusp of throwing in the towel, something will yo-yo you back in!”
“I have a fear of failure, letting someone down, contradicting myself.”
“I think that a costume can really help in embodying a character. So dressing up in something completely different to what you would usually wear is so new and refreshing.”
“I heard, 'Shondaland is doing Regency England with Netflix,' and I was like, 'I'm in!'”
“There is a potential threat in fame. I don't like the idea of it.”
“I was starting to write and I was like, Okay, I'm going to cast myself in my own thing.' You have so many of those moments as an actor because it's about talent obviously, but it's mostly about being in the right place at the right time.”
