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 went to drama school for three years, and the whole thing there is that hopefully you are introduced to a man called William Shakespeare who is the greatest of all time of all storytelling.

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

I can't imagine it if beauty was the only currency I used as an actress. It just doesn't interest me.

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