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

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

I'd love to do an action movie. Something with lots of stunts. Anything fast and dangerous and involving guns.

Mum wasn't at all religious, but she thought that going to the theatre was as important a ceremonial, communal experience that a person could have.

I have family dotted everywhere - Dad's in California; I've got aunts in Scotland and Virginia; family in Kansas City; family in Manchester and London.

I'm not really into makeup, not really into fuffing with hair and stuff.
