Most of the version of Tudor history we know is through the eyes of Henry VIII.

Whenever I get a script I skip from the leading role to the second or third friend as I think, 'no one famous will want that so I might get it!'
I will say I would much rather play someone who isn't the most spellbinding beautiful person because I am not that person and I don't want to worry about my angles or how good I look on that day.
French actors are so much better and cinema is better over there.
I need to go out and write and produce my own stuff and collaborate with other women.
In my life, I'm not very cool.
The biggest auditions can be the most freeing. The odds are always stacked against you and you always expect someone famous to get the part, so it eases the pressure.
That's the problem I have, I don't have a filter. It's something that I'm working on.
I look 13, so was always being asked to play the crying girl.
I am an actress largely in my living room in Clapham Junction! We have the Hollywood sign printed on the wall, though!
You have a real freedom when you don't have to worry about what you look like.
I did some chemistry testing - which is one of my favourite things. You go and flirt and see who you fancy and then they check out who had the best chemistry.
It's mad that in pretty much any other industry equality is expected as a standard, but in the acting industry, because there are such fewer parts, we seem to accept 'I'm a girl so it's harder for me'.
Yeah, uh, no, I play the cello. I played it, when, a lot when I was younger and it's one of those such a beautiful instrument. It's kind of the few things I've kept up.
Rob Zemeckis is an incredible director.
I, uh, well, it's the first thing that you do when you go to a job, you go out and do the footings and you see all the clothes, and for me, that really helps kind of create a sense of who that person is and what she wears and it, yeah.
Auditions are just another chance to act - that's why I love them.
I've got a lot of friends who are actors so even when I don't have auditions of my own, I'll be working on someone else's scenes with them.
In a sense, my job is auditioning. I might not be working, but I never feel unemployed.
