Elizabeth Mcgovern Eager To Tour With Band

Downton Abbey star Elizabeth McGovern is keen to take time off from acting to tour with her band because she wants to feel a "sense of control" in her career.

MCGovern juggles her filming commitments on the hit U.K. period drama with her performing duties for her own group, Sadie and the Hot Heads, but reveals she wants to focus on her music.

The star tells Britain's The Independent newspaper, "I like the idea of going on tour. It's not like anything else I've previously experienced.

"I like the sense of control which I never have with acting. With the band I feel like I'm steering my own ship with people I really like. When you're acting, you are at the service of someone else's vision all the time."

MCGovern admits she would focus solely on her music career if it offered her financial stability: "It's so difficult to make money from music. I haven't cracked that yet. But if I had the choice it would be to play music because there's nothing else like it."
