Every moment of living has its own logic, its own meaning.

Acting has always been such escapism for me.

Theatre is where my heart is. It's where I can do my best work. And even if I do films and TV, that's what I want to come back to.

I think when you're an actor and you're drawing on your emotions all the time, you need to be quite steady.

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

I act because I have to, because I need to find out whether I can do it or not - that's what drives me and excites me and lights me up.

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.
