I do sort of appreciate Nelly's [Ternan] view that it would be woman who would suffer mostly from that - who would be ostracized. The rigid societal conventions meant that it was difficult to live outside of them.

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

I would describe my look as 'ladylike rock chick.

"The Invisible Woman" was about trying to show this conflict in [Nelly Ternan] woman truthfully, between her own identity, but also being in love with someone who I think made very high demands from her.

I'm small. I'm petite. But I'm a bit of a fighter inside. In my work I fight for, I hope, showing women in a true way. They've got brains.

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

I cannot stand beer. But I love wine.
