Getting to travel around the world and go to glamorous locations is certainly not what I had as a kid.

As an artist, I am interested in telling stories that haven't been told before, stories that are going to affect people, and also stories that shine light on areas of history that haven't had light shined on them before.

I'm always interested in telling stories that have a message because I really do believe that film is so powerful.

Mom's a writer, so I grew up reading scripts and I have a real respect for them and I know how much thought goes into creating a role, so I'm always interested to find out what was the thought process of the writer and how best can I convey it rather than trying to change it to suit myself.

Powerful women are the most interesting to play.

I don't think I have the assets to play the more traditional Bond Girl.

One of the saddest aspects for me about filming in South Africa was that the real inequalities are still very much in place - and those are economic inequalities.
