I'm from Southampton.

Being at home is a job in itself and raising a family for sure.

It's beneficial to play against your type; to be chameleon-like.

When I emerge from filming I feel slightly out of synch with real life, but it's also a relief.

When I'm in a tricky situation I often think: 'What would Beyonce do?' It helps.

You have to have sympathy for and an empathy with a character in order to play them.

Playing a plainer role means everything is dependent on the credentials of the actor, not the fact that they are as pretty as Julia Roberts. People start to look at their talent rather than their appearance. And playing the ugly part often means less time in the make-up chair, which is a great benefit on set.
