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 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.

Acting has always been such escapism for me.

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.

My dad is such a good man, hard-working.

Every job feels like my first.

I've no wish to appear in celebrity magazines.
