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

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.

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.'

My personal life, my normal life, is so important to me. To be able to go back to my personal life and leave characters behind is important; I don't keep them with me.

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.

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.
