I think, as an actor, you're always traveling. There's a sense of dislocation sometimes from home.

I cry at the end of every episode of "Girls." I'm just so overwhelmed by the truthfulness with which [Lena Dunham] conveys human nature.

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

Now younger actresses will have a confidence in those discussions with their agents and be able to say, "Can we make sure that I'm being paid the right amount for the work that I'm doing?"

I'm keen to have balance, as much as possible.

I'm a real geek. I love spending time researching a character and reading about them.

My mother [was in advertising and] worked incredibly hard when she was bringing us up. She was a working mother and a working single parent.
