I want to be involved in a story that makes a difference.

I no longer think in terms of, Ooh, this is a great role and what is it going to do for - actually, I've never really thought about what something is going to do for my career.

I love being around great actors and film-makers, and I try to hide the fact that I'm in awe of them.

No matter what the characters you play, you have to find the differences in them, especially when you are doing a political movie.

Every time you fail, you learn more.

It takes me a long time to make a big purchase...

I remember being a teenager and having a boyfriend - this guy I thought I was way better than, and completely out of his league. He was a year younger than me. And he broke up with me. It was so shocking, and I couldn't believe it.
