I trained as a ballet dancer till I was 18, so I would really like to get back to it. I'd love it if there was a part that meant I could do both acting and ballet, as they're both so close to my heart. Jessica Brown Findlay actbackballet share on social
Before I go on stage, I knock three times. Three is my lucky number; I once went into an audition and was number 333 and got the best part ever. Jessica Brown Findlay auditionknocklucky Change image and share on social
I remember stealing some pic n' mix when I was seven; when I got out of the shop, I burst into tears. Jessica Brown Findlay burstmixpic Change image and share on social
The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you. Jessica Brown Findlay actadoreemotion Change image and share on social
I'm starting to shake it off, I am quite self-conscious, and it's only when I'm playing roles that I can escape that. The older I get, the more people tell me it's absolutely fine to be the way you are with all your quirks and nuances, and I wish I'd learnt that younger - I would have relaxed a bit more.

I do so many things. Like when I was younger, if I drove past a house that I didn't want to live in, I'd hold my breath. Driving around somewhere like Slough I'd go blue in the face. Jessica Brown Findlay bluebreathdrive Change image and share on social
Girls in scripts are often pretty but brainless, or geeky and no one likes them, so it's great to find richer roles. Chalk and cheese aspects of people are very interesting to play. Jessica Brown Findlay aspectbrainlesschalk Change image and share on social
There's a reason hobble skirts are called hobble skirts. You literally can't move very far in them. Jessica Brown Findlay callhobbleliterally Change image and share on social
My style icons would be people like Brigitte Bardot and old Hollywood actresses who always look so stunning, cool and chic. I like classic and timeless looks. Jessica Brown Findlay actressbardotbrigitte Change image and share on social
I filmed 'Albatross' before I got 'Downton.' It's a coming-of-age movie about this girl who leaps into this family's life, like a whirlwind. She's ballsy and brash and wonderful, it was such an amazing character to play. Jessica Brown Findlay agealbatrossamaze share on social
