There's so much of a desire in the entertainment industry for newness, a desire to build somebody up and then treat them as old news within six months. I think you'd be naive if you didn't try to hold on to your own way of doing things.

In my work I fight for, I hope, showing women in a true way. They've got brains.

I would work as hard as possible at school so I could keep acting alongside.

Going to auditions is always so nerve-wracking. I don't think they ever get any easier.

I've been very lucky. Directors I've worked with have been very amenable to changes.

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'm not a huge jewelry fan.
