I think American guys tend to be a bit more forward, a bit more chatty and open than the Brits. The Brits seem to have a darker sense of humor, though I have met some Americans who have adopted bits of the British dry sense of humor as well.

I am often lost in my own world, with a frown on my face.

Documenting trips makes them that much richer. I stick in train tickets and business cards from restaurants. It makes the whole experience poetic, describing the sights, smells and sounds around me. It means I can relive the holiday years later.

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

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

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

I went to drama school for three years, and the whole thing there is that hopefully you are introduced to a man called William Shakespeare who is the greatest of all time of all storytelling.
