There are moments to indulge and enjoy, but I always know when it's time to go home and wash my knickers.

I knew it was going to be important that if I had an audience understand who she was, then all those things had to come from a place that was grounded, as opposed to being tics and manners and twitches. I didn't think it was going to be as rich, perhaps, as if I was going to make it more emotional.

I still don't believe this craziness for being skinny, but I eat sensibly and I don't stuff down chocolate biscuits.

It doesn't make any sense... that's why I trust it!

If I had a child, I wouldn't let them go to drama school. At times, I was really unhappy there.

She has a choice. She can either accept a life of misery or she can struggle against it. And she chooses to struggle...she fails in the end but there's something beautiful and even heroic in her rebellion.

I hope I'm always learning something.
