I don't get handed money - and I never will. I have to work!

That's the thing about acting - you can't fake it.

There were times when I wondered if I was doing the right thing, studying when I could have been going to auditions.

For most of the movies that I've done, we've shot in a contemporary house, in contemporary clothes, speaking in a contemporary way. So, I really enjoy that. It really helps.

I couldn't imagine working in a hospital where there's just death, everywhere. But for a lot of women, it was their only option. They couldn't get other jobs.

I think it's really important that people can look at this show and be offended by it. Hopefully, then people will understand that this is still very much a problem we need to solve in other parts of the world. At least we have antibiotics.

Back then though, you had a few months of training, and then you were just thrown into it.
