I don't think about being beautiful or not being beautiful. ... It's more about feeling confident inside your own skin really and thinking about yourself as little as possible.

The less one can think about oneself, the more interesting and attractive one becomes.

I think the terrifying thing is you see all these people who go to the same cosmetic surgeon, and they end up, after a while, looking like everyone.

I'm not particularly interested in playing characters that think the way I do.

I'm one of those strange beasts who really likes a corset.

The notion of fate and destiny is a very Greek concept. Working in the theater you do think a lot about that, because as a storyteller you do think, 'At what point was this always going to happen and what part have I got a hand in being able to change things?'

For me, I think the bigger something is, the more difficult it is to make it nimble and fleet afoot.
