I just went and got an agent because I thought I can create my own world - you can't right your own life, but you can escape to a world where you can have control.

Because I sleep with him he asked me to audition, you know?

I'm always attracted to lower budget, not because it's lower budget, but because they tend to be better scripts.

I've never had white teeth. To be honest, I've never been told to do any of those horrible things - get your teeth whitened or your nose straightened.

You can actually have a pitch button, you know, to get people on pitch.

People have lots of misconceptions about me. My mum, who is half French and half Spanish, gets outraged when I'm called quintessentially English. I owe my looks to my mum-which was 90 percent of getting my first job. And, some people would argue, 90 percent of my entire career.

It would be nice to really shed the corsets.
