I've always played characters that were younger than myself.

I remember in 'Pride and Prejudice' I had to do a scene where I broke down. And before we filmed I spent like three hours imagining my mum's funeral. Actually, she's very much alive, happy and healthy. It was really horrible.

I wanted to be a musical theatre actress - I wanted to play Sally Bowles, forever and ever always.

You can spend an entire day walking around in New York, whereas in L.A., it always ends at some point because you have to find a way to get home.

I don't know why people are so down on the Best Western. They have the best sweet potato fries I've ever had.

I did The Seagull, the Chekhov play, on Broadway, a couple of years ago, and I had done it in London, and I became completely obsessed with the character, Nina, that I played in that. She's an actress. I couldn't find a play after that, that I wanted to do, because I couldn't think of doing anything else. Every part is a disappointment, once you've done that part.

I have always hated nightclubs, and don't like loud music.
