I've been reading a lot about what the Internet does to our brains.
There's a fine line between something saving you time and replacing a bit of you that could be useful. I've certainly become more and more aware of that.
I read recently that someone set up a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Robots in America. The idea being that if something robotic can have responsibilities then it should also have rights.
You don't want to disappoint, or feel like you're trying to recreate the magic of something.
As far as I'm aware, you can't tell if something is going to be successful. Brilliant scripts often don't get picked up, and terrible ones do all the time!
I knew, the second I read 'Humans,' that no matter how successful the show was, the script was superb and like nothing else I'd ever seen.
Even things like supermarket self-checkouts, they do mean people's jobs go. It's always worth thinking about the implications of things. Just because something's easier, it doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do.
I imagine if you're one of those genius people working on AI, the desire to find out what's possible is presumably the driving factor, but I hope there are just as many people who are thinking about what we actually want. Just because something's possible it doesn't mean it's going to be good to us.
I'm really rubbish with technology; I'm super backward! I think I got a mobile phone last out of all my friends. I really worried about people being able to get hold of me at any time - I really hated that idea.
I do think I have a lesser ability to remember facts and names than I have done previously, because you never have to store them; you just look them up again. I could make the same recipe 15 times, but I'll never, ever remember how to make it because I'll just look it up.
I definitely, really appreciate that quality that humans like to show constantly, even without saying anything, that they're with you and they're processing something.
It's my dream career to do as many different things as possible and for as long as possible, to stretch myself in as many different directions as I can.
A family is definitely in my future, but I have no idea when. I don't know how people fit it in with an acting career, but they do. Katherine Parkinson is a great example of that, so I'll have to ask her.
You meet people and go, 'We're going to be friends forever!' then you get home and can't even remember their name.
I am more on the side of humans than robots.
If there is an option to use a real human being and to have a chat with somebody and do your shopping that way, I do try and do that.
'Humans' would definitely score really well on the Bechdel test - the one that tracks how well represented women are in drama.
I've taken that with me since working with him; in order to be William Hurt, you have use every moment like he does.
Luckily, most days filming, for me, have involved a bit of a workout, too.
I love the make-up trailer. It's a great way to start the day, drinking coffee and singing along to Elvis with the make-up artists. They work wonders on a very sleepy face.
