I think the first time I realised 'Downton Abbey' was a hit was when I was sitting in a tea shop in New York and the couple next to me were talking about 'Downton Abbey,' and then they recognised me. Michelle Dockery abbeycoupledownton Change image and share on social

I think my parents knew before I did that I was going to be an actress, because I was doing impressions of Margaret Thatcher at the age of four. Michelle Dockery actressageimpression Change image and share on social

My dad worked all sorts of jobs when I was growing up and finally ended up as a surveyor; my mum delivers meals to old folk around where we live. We didn't have much money when I was growing up, but I had a very happy childhood. Michelle Dockery childhooddaddeliver share on social

'Downton Abbey' has become this huge thing, and I really enjoy the success of it, but I sometimes find myself on the outside looking in, which is sort of a healthy way to look at it so you don't get too caught up in it. Michelle Dockery abbeycatchdownton share on social
I think the success of 'Downton' is partly because there are effectively 18 leading characters, all given equal importance, so it's enormously involving on many levels. But also, it's a new story. It's not like Dickens or Austen, where everyone knows the denouement. Michelle Dockery austencharacterdenouement share on social
