The best thing I've ever done for a girl hopefully is make them happy. Isn't that the most romantic thing you can do?

It's better to think of life as a proper journey with a beginning and an end. Maybe, I can settle for being immortalised on screen.

On a Friday night, I like to go out because my friends, who have been working normal hours, just want to let go after a stressful week at work.

I love Leonardo DiCaprio. He just makes really great films with great directors. He has great relationships with directors but also has a great social awareness. I think he balances his work with his responsibilities to his world, the environment, things like that very well. I'm very impressed by him and I admire him a lot. And other actors like Joaquin Phoenix, I just look at him and marvel at his unexpectedness, just his work really.

Nothing's been changed overnight. It's like watching your cat grow: you see it every day, so you don't really see it change, you wake up one day and it's a bloody great thing. Your friends come round who you haven't seen for a couple months and they're like, "Oh my god, your cat's grown so much again." And I'm like, "Has it?" But when you're living it... I just find that my life has subtly changed bit by bit, so I don't ever really notice it too much.

When I do go to L.A., it is usually for a reason - to meet with a director or something - but I'm always so happy to go back to London.

I'd love to work with Paul Thomas Anderson or Quentin Tarantino, but these are dreams I don't need to rush to achieve. I'll be ready to make those movies when I'm ready to make those movies and they're ready to make them with me, if they ever want to.
