It's nice to have some continuity you can come back to. I feel that in coming home, coming back to London.

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

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.

I'm keen to have balance, as much as possible. I put every ounce of myself into my work, but also it's important that I don't miss every single wedding of my best friends. I couldn't do what I do without my friends and family.

I've never taken a role where I don't like a person on the page. Sometimes there are changes that need to be made.

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

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