As my passion is theatre when I do a film I'm taking time out from my theatre career. So, I'm desperate to get back into the theatre. So, I have to make sure that I put my foot down, especially with the agents and stuff, and say: "Hey no, I'm doing some theatre!" It is hard but it matters so much to me that it's just something that's going to be necessary and people will have to deal with it.

I am terrible at video games and I am really competitive. And if I am not the best at something, I go absolutely crazy!

I actually had a cockney accent before I went to drama school. It's softened up a bit.

I was born with six fingers on each hand.

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

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

I wouldn't change a thing in my own life, but I'd like to go back in time anyway though, just to some eras that I wish I'd lived in, like the '60s. I'd love to have been in London in the '60s, partying away.
