I've been very lucky. Directors I've worked with have been very amenable to changes.

I've never done a superhero movie. It's very nice to you as an actor in several worlds to go and to experiment.

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

What's amazing about the show ["Girls"] - the first (season) is about the girls and then the second (season) is about the boys as well. There's something so human about it.

[In "The Invisible Woman"] was a different type of performance which was less driven by improv. You always want moments of freshness and newness, but there was less so than I've done before.

I like Nelly's [Ternan] quiet inner strength. I thought there was something about her predicament that I found interesting - that she didn't want to be a floozy mistress, a bit on the side, that she had more self-respect than that.

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