I love changing what I look like because I always feel super strange whenever I do watch something that I'm in.

It took me so many years to move out. I'm definitely a bit of a Peter Pan, reluctant to grow up. It all seemed really nice at home-why change it? Part of me would prefer not to have any responsibility whatsoever.

I'm drawn to emotionally damaged characters because there is more to unlock.

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

Imperfection is underrated. Perfection is overrated.

The thing about the Oscars is real life doesn't stop. You have to get back to planet Earth the following morning. The rubbish needs taking out. The kids will be crying. They'll need feeding. Kids do not care whether you've been to the Oscars!

I loved doing all those costume dramas. I didn't think, 'Ooh I've got to avoid being typecast' - you can't ever be dictated to by what other people think. I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors.
