I've been involved with some huge studio projects that have been bloody awesome. It all starts with a great script, doesn't it?

It's better not to read your reviews. Just go and do the thing... it would drive you crazy otherwise.

For a woman, body image is always a palpable thing. Weirdly, for me, the only time I don't care is when I'm in character.

If people want to criticize a performance, that I understand. I think that's important. What's going on with this industry now is crazy. That obsession with celebrity is madness. I try as hard as I can not to read that stuff. Because most of the time it's a bit... factual. And it's frustrating because it's not about what you're setting out to do as an actor.

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.

Men and women just look at sex in very, very different ways.

What's exciting about watching a movie, when it's finished, is you sometimes you don't recognize yourself, and that's when I'm really proud.
