When I go home to England, my friends all make fun of me for sounding American.

I'm not someone who doesn't want to see the films, but I like to see them as an end product when the whole nuance of the character is put together.

If people want to criticize a performance, that I understand. I think that's important.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

You don't always have to look in the distance for what's going on over there, when you actually see what's right in front of you.

I think there are so many unmaiden roles for women. I've been lucky enough to play girls with lots of different attitudes about sex. There's a couple other movies at Sundance that also show sex in a different way. That's exciting. I actually don't think women are being pigeonholed right now, and I like that. It's showing that men and women - when it comes down to it, we're animals, aren't we? I know how my next-door neighbors feel about it, and I hope they're enjoying it.

For me, a director is such an important part of thE process. I really have to trust him. Because then you can kind of let your inhibitions down. You can go anywhere when you trust someone.
