The journey matters as much as the destination. By engaging in the moment on set, I've stopped rushing and now find pleasure in the collaborative process - the characters, the costumes - rather than worrying about the finished product.
From Michelle Dockery
I really enjoy singing, it's entirely different to acting because I'm just being myself.
I love cycling, but if I could find a way of building something above the streets for cyclists, that would be amazing. We need even more space.
'Expect nothing and hope for the best' is my mantra. A drama teacher called Joseph Blatchley told me that, and it's the best advice I've had. If you keep an open mind and don't expect too much, then you won't be disappointed.
I don't mind wearing a corset, it informs your posture, changes the way you move, you can't slouch.
I don't have to walk around in hats or find remote places to go for lunch! I don't get recognised that often.
We take so many of our freedoms for granted nowadays - I can travel where I like, I can do any job I want - but I think chivalry has been lost a little bit.
I'm quite into the French way - simple elegance with just a suggestion of sexiness, nothing vulgar.
Playing Isabella in 'Measure for Measure' pushed me to my limits. Janet Suzman was directing, and she was very hard on me. I went through phases of not liking her at the time, but I loved her for it in the end.
I'm not on Twitter, but I am on Instagram and follow Lena Dunham and Usher.
