I've always been a feminist, and what I love in my work is being able to explore a full-sided woman and not patronize her.

I put every ounce of myself into my work, but also it's important that I don't miss every single wedding of my best friends.

I have a great plain blue shirt from APC, and a denim one from Dolce that I wear constantly. It's hard to find the perfect denim shirt, but this is it.

I think in every character there are aspects of yourself that you bring to it. But then it would be really boring to just play yourself.

I'm keen to have balance, as much as possible.

But since doing the film ["The Invisible Woman"] I've really learned to appreciate [Charles Dickens], he's phenomenal. "Great Expectations" would be one of my favorites.

I always had a very strong sense of independence. I really liked being able to buy my Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill album. I wore that as a badge of honor. I love not having to rely on anyone.
