When Paul [Greengrass] was writing, he'd send me story ideas that he had. He was particularly interested in social movements and revolutions that had been happening all over the world, and how computers and the internet had helped those movements. He encouraged me to read a book about Anonymous, the hacker group called "white hat" hackers, meaning they're driven by ideology and social disruption as opposed to just greed.

I really like Shakespeare a lot. The characters that he writes for females, I think, are really great and a lot more compelling than what modern writers write, which is weird because they didn't have actresses then.

In my early career, I look at that time as a series of trial and error and learning as I go.

I took the role of Ophelia in Hamlet because she is so naive, loving, and innocent.

I remember seeing Janet McTeer in A Doll's House. My grandmother took me and we had seats in the very back row, but her performance was so powerful - it was very accessible. I felt like I was much closer than I was.

Make yourself useful, not just on a day to day basis, but as a lifetime thing.

It's not my job to critique the writing. I'm there to serve it. I had to figure out a way to make it work.
