I'm really into strong, female roles - but they don't have to necessarily be loud - I'm just as interested in introverts too.

I really enjoy auditions anyway because I think that even if you come out of them, and you go in once and it never goes anywhere, there is something that you bring out of it or a note that will come back to your agent and that's the way you learn.

I am a hopeless romantic.

On the surface, it's really easy to dismiss certain characters, but sometimes you find that the most interesting parts are disappointingly shallow. It's your job as an actress to pull that person apart, and work out why they act the way that they do.

I don't know if I'm so righteous.

I have endless playlists on my iPod so will throw on, say, Bruce Springsteen or The Smiths, depending on what kind of day I'm going to have.

When you get a bit older and you realise that no one knows what they're doing, no one's perfect and it's fine.
