I'm sort of like a T. rex in the world of female actresses. Every time a job is finished, I look at my car and think, 'Could I live in it?

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

I almost never get recognised in the street.

As a teenager I was clinically depressed. Although I had lots of friends, I found those years very difficult.

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.

I don't think you should feel guilty about pleasure. Defeats the purpose.

Cersei in Game of Thrones is quite solid and stiff.
