I'd always wanted to do costume drama, but period dramas often become very wooden. Just because they're born in the 1400s, all of a sudden people start losing their sense of humour or their personalities.
I'm constantly learning with each new job, especially about people, which is important for playing characters.
It's going to be very, very different from 'The White Queen.' Rather than it being a follow-up, I think 'The White Princess' is definitely a standalone show.
Emotions fascinate me, just being able to express myself through acting. I love that. And I think, in everyday life, you're always trying to repress your emotions. Like if you're sad, you don't want to show it to someone else.
When you get scripts and you really enjoy reading them, you know it's a good project.
I was a natural drama queen when I was younger. I was always doing impersonations and showing off.
