Acting has always been such escapism for me.

I need someone who understands an artist's mentality. I couldn't be with someone who wouldn't let me have my freedom.

I'd love to work on a real girl piece with some fabulous actresses. I feel like I've worked with so many men.

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 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.

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

We live in a celebrity-obsessed society.
