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.

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

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.

You know, I do projects that I really care about. I hope I'll stand by that until the day I die!

I think film should be interactive. But at the same time, it's also great to go see a big popcorn movie and be taken to a complete fantasy world.

It's all about the director for me; we have to click. It's a trust thing. I'll say I'm ready to let down my walls. I'll cry for you as long as you need. But you're going to have to hug me afterwards.

For me, there is safety in playing a woman that is very sexualized and having a woman direct you with that.
