The criminal justice system, like any system designed by human beings, clearly has its flaws.

When I finished my A-levels, I assumed I'd be able to get work as an actor. But I couldn't. I didn't get an audition. Nothing. So I thought I'd better train and then the parts would come.

Even today, England is a very repressed, repressive country, and there's pressure to be kind of a certain way, so people do things that ultimately make them sad.

The thing I love about acting is that you can bring something very personal into the open and at the same time remain hidden because you're always playing a character in a story that someone else has imagined. You're always protected.

I can be shy, but I’m not really. I try to be better at overcoming these things people have said.

I think being very thin has had a lot to do with how I've been cast.

I am a typical Libran. I tend to see two sides of everything.
