I find sometimes that if you do too many takes, it starts to become meaningless to me. It is hard to sustain it for me. I don't want to do too many.

Outside of being home with my family, I prefer a crowd.

I don’t mind looking like I need a good wash and a good meal... Any actor who starts taking ‘sex symbol’ seriously or thinks of themselves as a sex symbol has got some serious problems.

For me, London is and always will be home.

The theater's a live thing, and film is, to some extent, a discipline where you're putting everything together and trying to execute something exactly. You do it away from people and then you present it at the end.

You see these actresses who have had Botox or something else done, and it takes you out of the film.

I do a lot better if I sit around and think about a character for a couple of months.
