The only valid starting point is to understand what we all share - we have to find what we can all agree on.

At home I wear my own clothes, no makeup and don't do anything exciting with my hair. I get to borrow pretty dresses for the red carpet, and have experts do my hair and makeup.

I think there are parts of myself in every character I play.

For me, it was all about working with an inspirational filmmaker.

There is the old boys' club, but there are ­people who are "conviction lobbyists" coming from the heart.

Because I had grown up with Jane Austen novels and period dramas, I was very familiar with that period and that world.

Because of my job, my hair gets played with a lot on set, so I try to give it little bit of breathing space when Im not working.
