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 don't quite understand what Tolstoy's actual personal view of Anna is - whether he likes her or hates her, whether she's the heroine or the antiheroine.

I think I always disappoint people, because they always expect someone very pretty. Very done. There’s so much pressure to be thin, blonde and busty. I’m skinny, but even I couldn’t fit into some of the clothes in L.A! In a funny kind of way, I think you create it yourself. I think it’s much better to go with the flow and embrace your body, whatever shape it is, and just be happy.

Nice is the worst word.

In film as a medium, you're often given a baddie and a goodie and told what to think about them; it's usually a very definite point of view.

I'm doing a film now with a lot of guys as well, so at the end of that I will be growing a beard.

The thing I love about acting is getting to change and look at different people in different lives and do different projects.
