I was into Virginia Woolf and James Joyce [at university] and I think we all thought that [Charles] Dickens wasn't that cool.

I want to be paid fairly for the work that I'm doing. That's what every single woman around the world wants.

I'm small. I'm petite. But I'm a bit of a fighter inside.

I'm too much left brain. I very much have an emotional response to things; I love literature and films and storytelling. I need to nourish my right side, it doesn't get a lot of exercise.

I've done a lot of very low-budget indie films, so it was just really exciting and fun to be doing a film where there's a lot more time and these huge, vast sets. I was like a kid in a playground. It was amazing!

Women want to be paid on parity with a man in a similar position.
