Empathy is the main thing, putting yourself in somebody else's shoes and trying not to judge.

It's very rare to get a film script that has good dialogue. A lot of the time, you spend on film sets really fighting to find out how to say the words.

It's not everyday you get to do a pirate movie, you might as well go for it.

My upbringing is why I am the person I am today. I have very wise parents.

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

I don’t know what happened through the ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s that took feminism off the table, that made it something that women weren’t supposed to identify with and were supposed to be ashamed of. Feminism is about the fight for equality between the sexes, with equal respect, equal pay, and equal opportunity. At the moment we are still a long way off that.

I think that there's absolutely no point trying to force your body to be anything than what it is. I think that when you see people who are really pushing themselves to terrifying lengths to achieve what is perceived as being beautiful today, then that's just terrifying, it's really terrifying.
