Believing in God is a very intense inner struggle of mine. It's something I worry about a lot, but which I don't have the answer to.

You have to play the logic of a character.

It's a whole different kind of anxiety. But the great thing about doing a theatre job is that once the ball starts rolling you just have to go with it, it's inexorable.

I've always been creative, I think.

And it is very sexy as well: somebody says I'm taking you on a surprise date, you don't know where you are going and you can't see and then you put your hand out and there is a tiger. Amazing.

Friends always say you don't realise how robust your baby is until you drop it.

When the time came to make a decision about what do in life, I found myself thinking that acting was the thing I loved to do, so I applied to drama school. And then, I didn't get in - twice.
