The more you work, the more people can see that you're something different from what's come before.

I was a tomboy running around in the garden. I used to play on a local cricket team. I grew up with all boy cousins, for the most part, and my brother. 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 want to be paid fairly for the work that I'm doing. That's what every single woman around the world wants.

Day to day, I always wear eyeliner on my top lid and mascara. I like to do my own makeup, it depends on the event.

I'm attracted to playing people who aren't necessarily straightforward.

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

You have to be brave and not always play likeable people. It's difficult, because there's a demand for the hero or heroine to be very likeable.
