My taste in the films I've taken as an actor is similar to what I'd do a director or writer: all quite odd, challenging stuff, slightly off-the-wall.

Fans are really important for me. And if they take pains to write me, it's the minimum that I answer myself.

You never want to be forced to do something. But the world around you starts to influence you in ways you never expected.

I've worked every day since I was 10. I don't know how to do anything else. There is nothing else I'd rather be doing.

I just got asked by another journalist 'Are you a feminist?' and I was just like... Is there a strange thing at the moment where you have to come out as a feminist? I've been asked if I'm a feminist so many times recently, and I'm just like 'Yes, yes, for God's sake, yes! Is there something that I give off that says I'm not?'

I was very much a product of the public-school system. There was only one other kid in my class who had parents not involved in the stock market or law.

The one piece of advice I would give to any actor is, if you want to go out on the street without being recognised, without even being looked at, go out with a 6ft 8in beautiful transsexual. No one gives you a second glance. Especially when you're 5ft 5in.
