I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.

I do strive to find projects that are trying to carve out some new space. I enjoy projects that leap away from the crowd a little bit.

A lot of period dramas can appear quite arch to most people, stuffy.

When you're in love, you're so happy that you want to tell people about it. But now I have to censor myself. You need to protect the happiness you have.

I'm such a diva on set.

It's always better just to do work that you're really proud of and work that you enjoy because really all you have are the choices you make and that's it and who knows after that. I think that's what I love in acting.

I love ambiguity. People are that way. People are very hard to work out. No one is just strong or just fragile, or anything like that.
