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

I like characters who have faults. I'm drawn to darker people.

It's people's worst fantasy to see their partner kissing someone else, even though it's a job and it's not real.

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.

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

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

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