My mother, she had a very good attitude toward money. I'm very grateful for the fact that we had to learn to save. I used to get like 50 pence a week, and I'd save it for like five months. And then I'd spend it on Christmas presents. I'd save up like eight pounds. It's nothing, but we did that.

The films that I go to see at the cinema are not Hollywood blockbusters particularly. I've not got anything against them... I'm in them! But I don't go and spend my money on them.

I've nearly walked off very big films before, and I would, because I don't want that in my life. I want to enjoy the work I do.

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

I've done about four deaths in films now, and I think it's quite good because then it's sort of a memorable moment in the film.

I think, for me, I'm always more interested in the process of making the movie than the movie itself
