Every job feels like my first.

My family believe you should never be flashy about anything. Maybe that handicapped me a little bit, that extreme humility.

I hate to say that my mother was 'just a housewife', because in addition to that she has had lots of part-time secretarial jobs in factories and hospitals, always working really hard for our family.

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.'

Acting has always been such escapism for me.

When it comes to my work, I'm fearless. I go with my gut.

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