I look completely like my mum. She's very foreign, very Jewish.

I love witches and magic and dress-up and make-believe.

I think Woody Allen is pretty much of a genius. I'm thinking of filmmakers every century or two, but I've never had the luck to meet them. People who create their absolutely own world and are totally inimitable.

My father fell really chronically ill when I was 13 and that's when I phoned up an agent and started to act.

Not only was it nearly impossible to hear because of these huge rubber ears we had to wear, but we also had these huge furry hands which were absolutely useless, especially if you had to scratch yourself.

I liked pretending to be other people: I could reinvent myself, reinvent my own reality.

With the number of people I ignore, I'm lucky I work at all in this town.
