The more you love something, the worse you tend to audition. If you don't really care about something, you kind of nail it.

For me, horror movies are a real escape.

I hate being looked at. Can't stand it. I know, I know - I picked the wrong career. I should have been a doctor. If you play certain parts you have this nice face painted on you, and then you have feel as if you have a responsibility to this idea of being beautiful. I hate that about our business.

I'm 40 next year and I'm very well aware that where I am now, it becomes a bit of a wilderness for actresses.

People do seem to think that I'm going to be some wicked witch, and then they're always surprised to find out I'm just a little clumsy nerd.

'Dredd' was a weird, little, out-of-the-blue thing for me.

Nothing I do is by design. It's always the result of a happy accident. I didn't have a career plan. It has just become the way it is. It's all good fun.
