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.

From a very young age, stories fuelled my imagination in the most wonderful way.

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 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.

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

I'm deeply ambitious and I always have been.
