The reason I act is because I'm trying to understand why people are as they are.

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.

I'm not a show-off; I'm not an exhibitionist.

Obviously, education is hugely important, along with healthcare. They're the basics and you're hurting your own country if you don't pour money into them.

I've no wish to appear in celebrity magazines.

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.

I'm a theater actress. I love rehearsal. I could have six weeks of rehearsal and think it's not enough. But on film, you don't get that luxury.
