Id love to work in the States; Id love to work anywhere where you get a good script and a good part to play. But I do love British film as well.

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

I've not sat with my agent going: 'Where is the next hopeless girl I can play?' They just come along.

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

I did all sorts of jobs after drama school - working in a bar, as a teaching assistant. I probably learned as much from them as I did at drama school.

I cry at films and TV and even adverts.

I think it must be so hard to start your career with everyone going on about how gorgeous you are. To be in that bracket must be so pressurised.
