Italy - I love the late-night culture, hanging around the square at midnight with everyone, catching up and having a drink.
I found a place under a bridge in Goa where you could have fresh crab and beer. It was nothing complicated, but delicious.
I ended up doing a local AmDram musical when I was nine or so. We had to sing and dance and act. It was probably terrible, but I loved it.
I would have done it happily, but to be a Bond girl isn't everything I aim for as an actress.
Making a pretty picture, an image, is a completely different thing from acting to camera.
When you think of things like medicine, people who have lost limbs now have a chance to have a limb replaced that is connected to the brain that they can actually control with their mind. That's amazing.
I visited a Child Friendly Space where children take part in structured play and development activities in a safe environment. These are designed to develop their cognitive ability as well as address their psychosocial needs. As I watched them sing songs and take part in games, it struck me that these kids could be anywhere in the world.
My parents are wonderful, practical, sensible people, and the expectation was that I would study something academic.
As a means to an end, modelling was good, but I had to distance myself from it when I started working as an actress, because even though I wasn't high-profile, I found in my first write-ups that I'd be referred to as 'model Gemma Chan.'
I'm quite a rational person. I'm not very superstitious, but I really do enjoy horror as a genre.
Even though I don't necessarily believe in everything that's supernatural, I like being scared and I like things that are suspenseful.
As a human, you don't have to be too conscious of your movement. I think it's tougher playing a robot than a human, and even tougher playing a robot who begins showing traces of being a human.
I was given a lot of homework: I had to practise ironing as a synth, practise washing up as a synth, cooking a meal as a synth. It's definitely the most prep I've had to do for a role.
Growing up, I never saw any Asian faces on TV, so it didn't feel like a viable option.
I've been fortunate in my career, but, yes, there have been many times when I have been told my audition has been cancelled because they're only going to see white people.
All of us have a lot of physical tics that we don't realize that we're doing subconsciously.
Save the Children is also working to improve accommodation for refugee families living outside settlements. I met a family which had been living in a substandard building without windows, doors or a toilet.
I do feel a responsibility to try and raise awareness and to help tell the stories of those who may not otherwise have a voice.
I've always admired the work that Save the Children does to improve the lives of children and their families all over the world.
It's really rare in TV not to think, 'Well, I've seen a version of this before.'
