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

My mother was in advertising and worked incredibly hard when she was bringing us up. She was a working mother and a working single parent. That instills in you a sense of determination.

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!

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.

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

My mother was in the kind of late-sixties, early-seventies origins of female emancipation. And she was very much like, "You're not going to be defined by how you look. It's going to be about who you are and what you do."

I'm a real geek. I love spending time researching a character and reading about them.
