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

I don't like the word celebrity. If I become a good actress and be in movies where I'm expected to be a good actress, who is recognised, that's different to being what I consider to be a celebrity. My job is an actor and that's what I'm passionate about and adore. It's a privilege to be able to do this job for a living.

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

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.

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.

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

We live in a celebrity-obsessed society.
