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.

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

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

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

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