There's nothing I despise more than people trying to be something that they're not.

I make a real effort to try and live in the real world and not just the dream world.

I like being a cog in a wheel. I like being a small aspect of a much bigger thing, and I think my interest in that takes the pressure of myself.

And doing a film in that period, and having to really celebrate what they wore back then, how they sat and how they spoke. You know, what the etiquette was back then for a lady. All of those things are like putting on a wig and transforming yourself, which I love.

I don't think you can create anything interesting from a comfort zone. You have to work from a place of fear and failure.

I really love having an awareness.

I grew up on Bette Davis movies, and Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe.
