In my work I fight for, I hope, showing women in a true way. They've got brains.

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

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

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'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'm small. I'm petite. But I'm a bit of a fighter inside.
