As an actor, you always want to keep it different, change it up, and, you know, just to keep yourself inspired and work with interesting characters.

Women do well in their thirties. They put their bags down and say, 'This is who I am - like it or lump it.' There is a more relaxed quality, which I like.

When I was younger, I used to write to directors when I was unsure I could play a role. I'd say: 'You've made a terrible mistake.'

I love actresses who are brave and don't do what's expected of them or don't play off how they look or take risks.

Being at the pinnacle of my career is not to turn up in some multiplex blockbuster.

There is a part of me that is not fulfilled by acting. It is a self-involved life; it can feel shallow, but not very often.
