Although I grew up in London, I spent summers in Missouri, where my dad lived. It's quite a liberal town, Kansas City. You'd be surprised.

I loved watching theatre, and film, and television. It was a fantastic outlet and my favourite thing to do. I can't remember the decision. It just felt like a completely natural thing... I just completely felt drawn into it and seduced by it all. I found myself going into it.

I love firing guns. It's an amazing feeling - so sexy and powerful.

I think it's always easier to play parts that you have something concrete that you can relate to.

I like characters who have faults. I'm drawn to darker people.

It's people's worst fantasy to see their partner kissing someone else, even though it's a job and it's not real.

I've had that experience of not liking people very much, but having tremendous respect for them.
