"I can remember walking onto the set of Anne Boleyn's chambers, at the beginning of shooting this season [2]. The art department decorated it to Anne Boleyn's taste and style, and it almost brought me to tears, because they had captured so much of the detail of her personality. It was exactly how I imagined I would have decorated those rooms myself, had I been Anne Boleyn. It felt as if it was Anne's home.''- Natalie Dormer
