bad overweight terrible tomboy
I am really terrible when it comes to guys. Inside, I just see myself as this overweight tomboy with funny-coloured hair and bad skin.
bad love scarlett total
I love being as bad as possible! You've got to love a bad girl. Look at 'Gone With the Wind,' Scarlett O'Hara - total bad girl, but you love her.
ambitious good wherever
I'm a very ambitious girl. I'll go wherever there is a good part.
absolutely lots sent
I get sent lots of jewellery by fans, and that's absolutely lovely.
I don't get recognized in England. Not at all. Every so often, I get recognized in other countries.
achieve amazing buys diamond time
My mum's amazing - every time I achieve something in my career, she buys me a diamond earring.
feet found fourth owe series third until
It's not an understatement to say that I owe everything as an actor to 'Merlin.' It was pretty much my first job, and I didn't know what I was doing for many years on it. It wasn't until the third and fourth series - the fourth series especially - that I really found my feet with the character, and as an actress.
certainly
I wasn't born an actress, but I was certainly born dramatic!
era fantastic fit louis picked power
If I could have picked an era to have lived, I think I would've loved to have been one of Louis XIV's mistresses. They were so fantastic and aristocratic, and they had so much power. And he was such a renaissance man. I think I would've fit into that nicely.
princess mind firsts
One thing I've always thought about Morgana is that she's sort of a modern mind in a period body. She's not your usual warm princess, which is what drew me to her in the first place.
used i-can
So I can say I used to have a waist.
bows stuff frills
I don't like pink and I am not into girlie stuff, bows and frills, sugary looking things.
bad believable funny love mean playing
I do keep getting these bad girl roles. The funny thing is that, honestly, I don't think I'm believable as these aristocratic mean girls. But I do love playing them.
believable corset funny guess maybe people playing
Maybe people don't see me as believable playing a person of today. I guess I'm just more realistic in a corset and funny hairstyles.
