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

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

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

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

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