I don't like when I look too cluttered.

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.

There's so much of a desire in the entertainment industry for newness, a desire to build somebody up and then treat them as old news within six months. I think you'd be naive if you didn't try to hold on to your own way of doing things.

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 would describe my look as 'ladylike rock chick.

I cannot stand beer. But I love wine.

I'm very independent, creatively, always trying to push myself - and I think that comes from my mother.
