It's a shame that ethnic minorities aren't getting a crack at different types of roles. There needs to be a bit of a change.
I don't know if I ever really think about being a role model. But I guess if you're in the public eye and people are looking at what you do, you do want to be a good role model, and you want to kind of be seen in a good light.
My mum records everything I'm in on VHS. Like, who still has VHS? I told her it's all online now, but she still tapes it.
I'm ambivalent about tech.
When you're an actor, people just take it for granted that you're really confident and can get up in front a stage full of people and just speak to them.
I've always really liked murder mysteries and thrillers, and great to be able to be actually part of one.
Anything in which you're playing someone real does make you feel responsible for making the story as true as it can be.
America seems much more diverse and has more exciting casting - they really take risks.
I certainly didn't have an exciting or a crazy childhood.
People who are in abusive relationships often don't realise it, but it slowly seems to build until you're trapped.
Within the media, the way that women are portrayed - especially young women - sometimes there is a lot of sexual objectification and, I would say, 'lad culture.' These are all things that connect with domestic abuse.
You just never see people of different ethnicities in period dramas.
I was 16 and standing on Tottenham Court Road when this woman came over and asked me if I was an actress. She wanted me to audition for an online drama she was directing. I had time to kill, so I thought, 'Why not?'
I'm definitely not that fashion forward.
Sometimes, with portrayals of domestic violence, the women involved are just victims with no personality, just completely trodden-down. But people continue to live their normal lives: they go out; they continue to have arguments with their partners, even if there is always the fear of where that might end up.
I'm not really into destiny, but it's funny - I bumped into a woman who told me about an audition, and now I have a BAFTA.
I have used dating apps a couple of times in the past and met people, but it is a difficult thing because you're meeting someone who you really don't know and you have no link to. I have friends who have had great relationships after meeting on Tinder or Bumble, so I'd never say never, but it hasn't worked for me.
We've always had a sadistic obsession with technology.
I've not been discriminated against, but I can see it happen. And not just race but gender and sexuality, too. It's stereotyping, lazy casting, which is an issue: that people can't see outside the box.
A childhood favourite that has stayed with me over the years is Kate Winslet. She's an amazing British actress who always delivers no matter what role she's in. Another actress I've found incredibly inspiring is Olivia Colman.
