Young People Are So Often

At 19, You Know Everything; By The Time You're 40, You Haven't Got A Clue.

You Have No Idea What's Going To Happen [in Downton Abbey] Until You Get The Script. We Roughly Knew A Couple Of The Key Points That Were Going To Happen, But When I Got The Last Episode, I Turned To The Last Page To Check That I Was Still Alive.

I Have An Excellent Internal Compass.

We Were All Expecting To Finish [downton Abbey] After Series 1, Actually. And Then, It Got Extended To Series 3, And That's When Two Of Our Much Loved And Much Missed Friends Left. And Then, It Was Going To Be Done With Series 5, But Julian Fellowes Said, "i'd Like To Do One More." So It's Been A Series Of Extensions, Rather Than Wondering How Much Longer We Can Go On For.

Everyone At Some Point In Their Lives Feels Excluded And Misunderstood.
