I have sleepless nights before press days.

If I want to run around a field when I'm 70, I would like to have that option.

Being an actor is an extension of telling a story and I loved story telling as a child.

It always interests me how obsessed people are about age.

I could suddenly see the pressures all around; these endless magazines and cheap reality TV programmes poking at women, humiliating us for every flaw. It makes me so angry. I really wonder what it is we are doing to ourselves, because I do think women can be the worst ones for picking each other apart.

I was a complete tomboy. I loved wandering out in storms or walking on the beaches in the dark. It was a very free upbringing, and I'm grateful to my parents for that.

I like to think I'm a listener, and I'm fascinated by observing people - I suppose you just lock that in.
