I come from a little bit of a theatrical background. I started that way. I don't have a tremendous body of work or anything, but I went to drama school. And so, to get to do a piece where the characters get to talk a lot, and that isn't just about the spectacle or the set piece, or is simply visual or movement based. It was really wonderful for me, and juicy and exciting.

I struggle immensely with celebrities of all kinds. I get clammy hands and turn a little purple.

I felt very comfortable on a set - incredibly comfortable on a set, which is a real gift because that can be hugely intimidating.

Where I'm like,"no, I won't have that piece of bread, I'll have the veg." There's a different approach mentally that you have when you're in a safe space. Our body awareness in the West is ridiculous.

The Village did a lot for me, of course, because it was my first movie.

I've learned to think in terms of having a long career. Actors can have very long careers that last until the day we die, but there will be moments when you'll feel like you're a failure or when you're disappointed in yourself.

I'm a huge fan of the animated film 'The Land Before Time' and that was one of my favourite animated films when I was growing up.
