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.

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

I don't want to be doing fashion shoots and being interviewed about where I shop. Who cares?

Literally, I don't know where life is gonna go from one day to the next, and that's as exciting as it is tiring.

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

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.

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.
