“At 17, we all think we know what we're doing.” — Jessica Brown Findlay

Girls in scripts are often pretty but brainless, or geeky and no one likes them, so it's great to find richer roles. Chalk and cheese aspects of people are very interesting to play.

I'm really into strong, female roles - but they don't have to necessarily be loud - I'm just as interested in introverts too.

I love when people become obsessed with 'Downton.'

Sometimes when a scene is written or directed to be shouted or played incredibly angrily, I always think it's way more terrifying when someone is fuming and talks in a very calm way. I always want people to shout at me if they're angry - it freaks me out that whole thing of, 'I'm not angry I'm just disappointed.'
