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.

But, I think it's great to be able to work with established directors, and then also first-timers. I feel like you learn from both of them, but then you can go and share your knowledge with each of them. That's really fantastic!

On an independent film, you really learn about pace. You have so little time to do things, that you really have to know your scenes.

I hadn't really even been thinking about TV. To me, it seemed like such a commitment, almost like a marriage.

It's important to not be naive about this world and know that it's not necessarily a good place to be.

You can't really help people until you've helped yourself first.

I've been really lucky to work with a lot of really great actors, so watching the films back, it's really important to admire the people that you were working with and see their full performance.
