I feel, in drama, you don't need to be fed everything. Even though sometimes when you watch, you want to know what happened and you want to see it, I feel like sometimes it's so much stronger to see the effects that those actions have had.
You do have to challenge yourself. I think scared is a good thing.
Yoga really destresses me.
In 'The White Princess,' the women are leading the story, and they're holding everything together. It's definitely a world of women's empowerment.
I'm constantly learning with each new job, especially about people, which is important for playing characters.
My mum used to always say to me, 'What's meant for you won't pass you by,' and it's true. If I didn't get something, it wasn't meant for me.
I was a natural drama queen when I was younger. I was always doing impersonations and showing off.
I'd love to do something where I have to completely transform. Or something that is very physical and would test me with discipline in that way. Something that I'd maybe have to train for.
As an actor, you have to find reasons why your character made her decisions, and you have to empathise with her.
There's something refreshing about going into filming and not brushing your hair, letting your toenails chip, drawing darker circles under your eyes.
I feel particularly passionate about being a part of 'Rillington Place' because I've never had a job where I've felt so much responsibility and I've had to handle something with so much delicacy, because this story and these people were real.
I'm quite a happy person.
It's so nice when you go on to a job and you've worked with someone before.
When you wear the costumes in a period drama, you already feel like a different person - the clothes make you stand differently, change your posture, the way you walk. You really have to have stamina - you have two hours in hair and makeup, and then another hour to remove all that.
To read a piece of material from a period drama told from the woman's perspective is just so unique.
I think everything happens for a reason.
Liverpudlians have an amazing sense of humour, and they're very loyal and warm. All my family and friends are there, so when I'm not filming, I like to go back and catch up with everyone. We're a very close family.
A lot of things in my career have happened by chance.
I used to sing when I was into local theatre but gave it up to concentrate on dance.
It's going to be very, very different from 'The White Queen.' Rather than it being a follow-up, I think 'The White Princess' is definitely a standalone show.
