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

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 read a lot of heavy literature when I'm on set, so on holiday I want to indulge in something light-hearted.

I don't think I'm curvaceous. It's simply that most other actresses are really, stupidly tiny.

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.

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 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.
