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.

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 think it's always easier to play parts that you have something concrete that you can relate to.

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

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

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.
