I don't take money seriously, so I can't keep any.

My parents were very volatile but very loving. My father would get jealous if my mother looked at somebody. I used to be insanely jealous. It comes out of insecurity. It can come and go, but you get to the point in life where you don't have this raging jealousy and protectiveness about your world.

I'm sure people in the business have said: She's too old for that part. I don't hear about it because your agent protects you from those negative things.

When I was little I always thought I was marked out, special, on the verge of something momentous. I used to tingle with anticipation.

Every time we moved on, I joined a different class in a different school with different girls until, aged 13, my father had taken the decision to pull me out of school altogether. Everything I needed, he reasoned, could be found within the rich language of Shakespeare's plays at which, by then, I was something of an old hand.
