As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now; I'm not going to say what they were.

I think I've got something when I'm onscreen, but that's nothing to do with acting or talent

It takes me time to realize things; I'm a speedy person but a slow thinker.

I never dreamed I'd like any city as well as London. San Francisco is exciting, moody, exhilarating. I even love the muted fogs.

Living in America, I became aware of many issues and went through a period of politicization

There were some films I refused because the feminist aspect was a bit wonky.

The little things that made up the fabric of the first six years of my life were suddenly ripped away, and I didn't have anyone around me who loved me. Not one single person.
