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.

Those moments when you don't feel self-conscious, when you escape that, are when you produce something meaningful.

As a child, I always liked dressing up and getting into character, and actors are lucky in being able to retain that playfulness, though we do seem to find it hard to grow up.

When you're believing in the person that you're playing, you feel protected. It's about being true to that person you're playing.

I want to be paid fairly for the work that I'm doing. That's what every single woman around the world wants.

I always hope for roles that have some depth and that I can get my teeth into and that will challenge me, in some way.

Fashion choices are never arbitrary. Even if you say you don't care, that's a decision. There's something you're trying to say.
