I’m quite contradictory – a bit OCD, but quite untidy. I have piles of stuff everywhere, but they make sense to me. And I’ll find the one thing in the room that’s my boyfriend’s, and complain about him leaving it out. Kimberley Nixon Read Quote
Because of the fact I look a lot younger than I really am, I think, I end up getting these girl-next-door roles. I mean, I’m not a Gemma Arterton type as far as I can tell. Kimberley Nixon Read Quote

I went to the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, which was great but very different from a typical university. They sat us down in the first week and said: if you want to party, you’ve come to the wrong place. There was no lie-ins or skipping lectures. Kimberley Nixon Read Quote
I get mistaken for Amanda Holden; I’ve had that since I was 12. I get Carey Mulligan, too. We look quite similar, and she does ‘Bleak House’ and I do ‘Cranford,’ so people mix us up. I’m sure we’ll play sisters at some point. Kimberley Nixon Read Quote
