I don't do resolutions, as I am a rebel without a cause in that respect - I always break them by the second of Jan.!

One of my first memories is running up and down the theatre at Wakefield Opera House.

I enjoy what I'm doing at the moment and try not to think too much about the future.

What is happening now to me in my career is amazing, so I dwell on the things that are happening rather than the things that aren't, because what's the point? It doesn't make them happen.

Any aspirational job is tough because everyone wants to do it.

Until I'm actually stood on the set doing the job, I always keep my options open.

I've sort of overlapped every job that I've done, really.

Even at home, I don't have pictures on the wall of jobs I've done.

I'm a very separate person to my job.

The next series of 'Mr Selfridge' has moved on five years. It's 1914 now, and the war is brewing. Halfway through the series, some of the Selfridges staff have to go off to fight, so they get women in to do the men's jobs.

I agree with my mother that having children removes a layer of skin that you never grow back.

You just need a good plan and then a back-up plan!
