[History] was always my favorite subject at school, other than English and drama. But I don’t see them as disparate things: history and drama are about cause and consequence. It’s storytelling. Well, you could argue, some history is storytelling anyway, it’s the storytelling of the victors. But it’s about the human condition. It’s about exploring the human condition and the choices we make and their ramifications. In that way, history is the same as good drama. — Natalie Dormer for Interview Magazine (May 2018)

I was an English teacher who accidentally became a host, who then became a column writer even though I didn’t have any bloody A-levels, and then I became a radio DJ on BBC Radio 1 having no idea what the hell I was doing. Then I came here, having never acted in my life, and now I’m acting opposite Ted Danson with a seven-year deal. I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing. Maybe I’ll bring out a rap album, I don’t know. Or become a professional tango dancer. I have no trajectory. If I had a trajectory I probably would never have been able to do all the fun things I’ve done.
