I think I'm probably quite geeky in a lot of ways. I'm pretty into books, kind of obsessive about that.

I always think that if I'm with somebody, they're better than me. That's why I love them. They're amazing.

People are weird. We do live on all levels at the same time and you can be fighting and flirting, and there can be fury and sexual tension. All that stuff can co-exist so it's just a testament to how complex we are. Or maybe it's a testament to how boringly we try and simplify everything.

I sort of lived half my life in California, half in England, so I am, I suppose, a little bit American.

I always say the things you're not supposed to.

I wish that I wasn't such an odd mixture. I wish I was serious, but I do love high heels and romantic comedies: being in them and watching them.

In film, the camera can get an array of shots so the audience can see the emotion the character is giving off. Using close-ups on the characters face really helps get the message across. On stage, you cant do that. But the stage has that live feeling that you cant get anywhere else because the audience is right there.
