I'd done acting at a local drama school on Saturdays. I just enjoyed it. It never entered my mind I could possibly do it for a career.
With acting, you have to just tell the truth in each moment.
My first professional audition was for a radio play in Manchester. That was the first audition that I got. It was my first paid job, which I think was, like, £150, and I thought it was megabucks.
I feel like when you perform in a period drama, it's so easy to transform yourself into someone else because the costumes are so different.
