I like to believe that we all pray to the same god.

I would say only be an actress if you genuinely feel the calling, because it's a tough profession.

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

I'm always looking for the comfiest place to lie down, like a cat.

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'd like to believe that I would be able to give in the same way Mandela did, but in reality, I don't know whether that is true. It is much more likely that I would be left with an immense sense of injustice and immense desire for revenge.

Powerful women are the most interesting to play.
