I like to keep pushing myself and trying things out. I get easily bored, so I need a challenge.

I'm more of a freestyle dancer. I like to do my own thing.

I always had a very strong sense of independence.

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've always been a feminist, and what I love in my work is being able to explore a full-sided woman and not patronize her.

"The Theory of Everything" is an extraordinary story because [Jane Hawing] was incredibly religious and [Stephen Hawking] was an atheist, so you have this conflict both on a domestic level between a couple in a difficult situation but also this bigger conflict of science versus religion, so it's a really fascinating project.
