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've done quite a lot of improv work before, and I wanted to do this film ["The Invisible Woman"] because it felt like a different technique. We were very true to the lines, and there was something quite formal and almost theatrical about it.

I always wear the shoes of the character a week before going on set; the idea of just putting on a new pair of shoes on the first day of filming is just horrific.

The American vice would be sometimes speaking too loudly. You can always hear American people on the trains!

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

I always had a very strong sense of independence.

I made a film called "The Theory of Everything," which is based on Jane Hawing, who was married to Stephen Hawking - it's based on her book about their relationship.That's what the film will be about - they were both incredible, strong, willful individuals and I feel like that Stephen Hawking himself would say that he wouldn't have survived without the influence of Jane Hawking, and they were an incredible team together.
