French cinema allows women to look... a certain way and be talented at the same time.

The only time I get recognised is when I go somewhere that is showing 'Coupling' on local television.

I'm not really that keen on mainstream; I'm not interested in doing the normal films. I do tend to go for the quirky, different scripts.

I love those connections that make this big old world feel like a little village.

I don't like crowds or attention.

Fans believe they have a relationship with you, either through your TV character or, more reasonably, through the tweets you may have exchanged. In a way, you have gotten to know them. You learn about people's kids, families, pets.

I think there was a petition online to get me involved in Doctor Who. Im not a Doctor Who fanatic, but I am a Steven Moffat fanatic.
