Part of why I love being an actor is the opportunity to be able to go to distant lands and take on different worlds and concepts and pretend to take on different occupations and statuses.

I worked with an amazing dialect coach named Jill McCullough. We did Skype sessions while I was shooting "No Escape" in Thailand, actually. So three times a week I would have long, two-hour sessions with her just working on the nuance of the accent, which I had had a huge background in because I went to drama school in England for four years.

I like my body, I like to have fun with what I put on, but I also want to remain classic. So I guess my signature is sexy and eclectic but classic.

Actually, in my own life I think I probably feign neuroses to be more interesting than I am.

I understand and respect deeply that each project brings its own secret and wonderful gifts and happy accidents.

I think coming to work and being absurd and neurotic and thoughtful at the same time is far more interesting.
