Lots of shy people dress a bit too much. It's just kind of an armour. People say the same thing about me.

A film can be big or small - I have to just fall in love with it. To connect with the character, the script, and the director. Sometimes they say to you, 'You should do that for your career; it's a big thing, people will go and see it,' but I wouldn't be able to, because my heart wouldn't be in it. I would drive people quite mad.

Oh, yeah, I like a high neck. And I like naked backs. It seems very sexy. Red carpets are about being a bit theatrical - having fun rather than being too safe. You have to be brave. Fashion is fun.

I was very studious, too much. I would never go out at weekends. I was very serious. You should have seen me in class - I was blushing and sweating every time the teacher asked me something.

Life's too short to wear high heels.

A lot of the films now are more focused on the visuals than on the actors. I think all directors should go to drama school.

Most of the women in film are there to be beautiful to the man.
