Moving. Someone said this to me a long time ago, it's bhuddist saying, I think: 'There is no wasted effort'.

Getting anywhere you want is hard work. In this photography culture, everything looks so amazing. But it's actually very hard to get to where anybody gets.

My mother had lived in London since I was little, so she never got to see my school plays and stuff.

I personally was driven to be an actor for the love of telling a story. It was very closely linked to being a reader as a kid and being transported by literature and art. It had nothing - zero - to do with anything resembling fame.

You may be sensitive inside, but what I see on the outside is a soldier.

Over and over in the play my character says, "I'm thirty-two years old," as if that should explain everything that's wrong in her life. I don't know what it's like to be thirty-two, but I can imagine. I imagine she means she's stuck in an in-between time, she's at an age that isn't a milestone but more of a no-man's-land, an age where she's feeling like her hopes are fading.

I would like to be part of a family, however that looks. Family is really important to me.
