I’m always scared to death that I won’t do a role justice. But fear can be a great motivator.

I'm very glad that [the death penalty] hasn't existed for many years in the U.K.

I don't think people should have boundaries put on them, by themselves or society or another gender, because it's our birthright to experience life in whatever way we feel best suits us.

You only have one life and if you're not doing what you love, what's the point?

I think what's great about that relationship between an actor and a Director is you have to really blow away all your thing, the safety things that you put up.

I pretty much have made a career out of playing real life people.

I had teachers who I could tell didn't want to be there. And I just couldn't get inspired by someone who didn't want to be there.
