I'm incredibly lucky that my profession allows me to be where I choose, really.

If you think about Audrey Hepburn, I think she became more beautiful when she stopped being an actress and started working with humanitarian campaigns. The more engaged you can become the more you can shed your self-consciousness.

After a run of several night events, you begin to appreciate the solitude and the quiet backstage.

I'm not dressing for anyone else. I don't really subscribe to other people's idea of what is beautiful. I just want to feel good.

When I see daughters with their fathers I wonder what that would be like, although not in a way that immobilises me.

Actresses can get outrageously precious about the way they look. That's not what life's about. If you starve yourself to the point where your brain cells shrivel, you will never do good work. And if you're overly conscious of your arms flapping in the wind, how can you look the other actor in the eye to respond to them?

I look at someone's face and I see the work before I see the person. I personally don't think people look better when they do it; they just look different.
