I guess what really forms you as a person is what you do within your family to receive love or attention. In my family, what you had to do to receive attention was to have good conversation at the dinner table or for me to do well at school, and those were really my focuses because that was what was valued the most.

For an actor, it is better to play well (or even not so well) in a bad film, than to not play at all.

Don't feel stupid if you don't like what everyone else pretends to love.

I didn't see many female politicians on TV. I didn't see women in history textbooks, so I did geography, and art and English literature. But I know I must have been affected by not seeing women represented.

We want to try to galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for change.

I'm a feminist, but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation.

The character is everything that I felt really strongly against - she's superficial, materialistic, vain, amoral. She's all of these things, and I realised that I really hated her. How do you play someone that you hate? But I found it really interesting and it gave me a whole new insight into what my job, or my role as an actress, could be.
