If I see any sort of injustice, I can fight like a dog. I'm not frightened to be outspoken and I can get very angry.

So, I probably would speak out about that, whether it was about myself or someone else.

Rosamund PikeI don't think RADA wanted me, actually. When I was at Oxford I had a boyfriend at Central [School of Speech and Drama] and it looked like the most fantastic life, but I think not going makes you more free. Nothing can teach you what it's like to work on a film set, and the best education there can be for an actor is to walk up the street and observe human nature.
