When I was about 5 I think, I desperately wanted to be a pirate and have the hat and everything.

I like watching films when I don't know anything about the people.

I'm obsessed with shoes. I must have hundreds of pairs...That reminds me- I need to go shopping!

I see the world through my eyes. It's sometimes a strange world.

I don't want to deny my femininity. But would I want to be a stay-at-home mother? No. On the other hand, you should be allowed to do that, as should men, without being sneered at.

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.

My doctor was like, 'Any questions?' And I was like, 'Yes! When can I drink please?!' I just want a margarita.
