I sometimes wonder what it would have been like if I'd got 'Downton Abbey' when I was 22.
When you look back, I think things are as they are meant to be. Timing is very important.
The first role I played was Madame Ranevsky in 'The Cherry Orchard.'
Visiting a show that's already established can be a bit daunting, as they've been a family already, and you're the newbie.
My poor cooking is legendary among my friends.
I know it sounds funny, but every time I have a disaster in the kitchen, it knocks my confidence level a little bit more, and I feel annoyed with myself that I can't do better.
