That's what's brilliant about this job. You get to dip into other people's lives, doing other things, researching, finding things out, and it becomes all-consuming as you try to immerse yourself into the mind-set of another person. That's really brilliant. You almost get the best of both worlds.

You immerse yourself in a new character and I'm not sure which bits of myself go in and which don't.

I was so lucky to have that exposure to stuff and to be taken by my folks to see these amazing productions. Going to the theatre was the thing that did it for me and especially going to the Royal Exchange where, incidentally, I've never worked, but I'd like to one day.

Clothes are so intrinsic to who you are that as an actor as you are preparing for a role for me that is a starting point.
