The things that prey on my mind in London seem to disappear as soon as I find myself in a different environment. Survival mode kicks in.

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.

The main reason I did 'Captain America' was because I wanted to get out of my own head and stop taking my work so seriously.

I think Brits probably feel that Americans are more like us than vice-versa, if that makes sense. Because we get everything American over here in Britain, but yet there are things which are staunchly English that you guys don't have.

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

Because I trained in theater, I always leave a film shoot feeling like I haven't done anything, like I just sat in front of the camera and whispered, essentially.

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