Boarding school is a wicked thing.

French is a foreign language, but I've been speaking it since I was 18 so it's second nature to me.

I tend to do things that I'm very frightened of. That's what I do.

I was happy, I wasnt beaten, and I lacked nothing. But it wasnt what people expect - it was very much sort of pinching and scraping. I dont know how my mother did it.

I try to make films that I find exciting. It makes me want to get out of bed at five in the morning, have my make-up done and play for the rest of the day.

Having a leading man who is actually prettier than you are is quite upsetting.

I'd love to do some comedy. Particularly French comedy, which I know sounds like a contradiction in terms.
