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

I think Brits probably feel that Americans are more like us than vice-versa, if that makes sense. Because we get everything American over here in Britain, but yet there are things which are staunchly English that you guys don't have.

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'm deeply ambitious and I always have been.

I loved watching theatre, and film, and television. It was a fantastic outlet and my favourite thing to do. I can't remember the decision. It just felt like a completely natural thing... I just completely felt drawn into it and seduced by it all. I found myself going into it.

Because I trained in theater, I always leave a film shoot feeling like I haven't done anything, like I just sat in front of the camera and whispered, essentially.

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