I wasn't allowed to do commercials. I wasn't allowed to do TV series. I wasn't allowed to do soaps or basically anything that would mean I missed too much school.

I think sometimes it's sort of easier to be playing a role based on a real person because there's quite often a lot more information, you're not making it up, it's there in books, it's there in research form. But really the questions you ask about the character, and why people behave, and where they come, and how they've ended up in the places they've ended up are the same.

It's good to know that other people think differently, and that's what makes the characters interesting.

I made a conscious decision to live my life the best way I could and that meant to publicise myself as little as possible.

Beauty is everywhere. And my photography came naturally without any particular inspirations growing up.

Well, the thing about great fictional characters from literature, and the reason that they're constantly turned into characters in movies, is that they completely speak to what makes people human.

I cook. I go to farmers markets in London and cook really good sort of organic foods.
