I've dabbled in period films in my career, and I've enjoyed each one.

I feel like I've done a bunch of period stuff and then a bunch of romantic comedies.

I love period dramas and language, but I love comedy as well.

I find more interesting roles for women in period pieces. I do personally like watching period films; I think you can really get lost in the fantasy of them.

I know I'm as comfortable doing period as I am contemporary. I suppose we grow up with it in a sense, in the theater. We get to put on costumes and play a lot of period dramas or plays so we're exposed to it a little bit more I think because of our theatrical background.

To be honest, when I was growing up - I think it's because of Kate Winslet and 'Titanic' - I always wanted to do period.

I come from theater, and doing period stuff is so whimsical and imaginative and so outside any frame of reference than I have ever had so I prefer that just in terms of fun factor.

A lot of period dramas can appear quite arch to most people, stuffy.

I did 'Little Dorrit' a few years ago; I really love doing period dramas. It's stuff like that I really enjoy watching.

Period dramas seem to take actors to the next level because they do so well in America.
