At this particular time, I probably am more comfortable with myself. Just now I'm having a lovely time.

I find it quite difficult on studio films because there are so many different executives and things like that that you have to go through, so very often getting that definitive opinion is actually quite difficult.

My mum says that I was born 45, and I do remember at six thinking that I should be earning my own living.

All through my life what I've loved doing is watching movies. I love the escapism of film, I love stories. So it is incredible to be able to be in them as much as I am, to see them from the first stitch in a costume to the end product.

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

I always feel like I'm the one with everything to prove.

You already feel unsure of yourself, and then you see your worst fears in print. It really knocked me - which is why, I think, I was working, working, working, because I was trying to run away from the fact that I thought I couldn't do it.
