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

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

If you're playing someone who has lived, there's the risk of imitation, or whether you focus on the essence of who that character was as opposed to physical mannerisms. So, you have to figure out what it is ultimately that this particular adaptation of the story, whether it's fiction or not, is trying to say.

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've had that experience of not liking people very much, but having tremendous respect for them.

I'd love to do an action movie. Something with lots of stunts. Anything fast and dangerous and involving guns.

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.
