Especially with girls, people always want to put them in little brackets.

Sometimes, I feel that if you're a strong, independent woman it scares people away, but actually it does the opposite.

Never in my short career, I've never had that experience where I wasn't sure if I was acting or if it was real.

My preference will always be theatre because it's where my heart lies and it's what I started with and eventually I want to direct it. It's where my real interest is. But I just love trying out new stuff. Acting for me isn't just for me about being in front of a camera ... it's so much more than that. It's always about telling a story and there are so many ways of doing that, so I'll always want to try something else.

I've never been to the opera; I've only seen opera on DVD.

There was one day where I had to be hysterical all day, then of course it's going to affect you. You're going to go home and feel drained, or feel like you need to let off steam.
