I'm not really into makeup, not really into fuffing with hair and stuff.

I'm not really into makeup, not really into fuffing with hair and stuff.

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.

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

Mum wasn't at all religious, but she thought that going to the theatre was as important a ceremonial, communal experience that a person could have.

My first job was a Greek tragedy, and ever since, one job just seemed to roll onto the next. I've been terribly lucky.

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