You want to take some responsibility for you choices so that it sets the groundwork for that next generation of actresses.

I didn't do so well in the academic world, so I think the only way I could express myself was through visual art - anything I could get my hands on, whether it was glassblowing, sculpture, painting, or photography. I always wanted to be a painter. Or a farmer.

As much as I have films and all that sort of stuff, a lot of my memories are to do with relationships and love.

Sometimes as an actor you're struggling to make things work. That was never the case for me with [Big Little Lies script]. It just kind of flowed out.

I just want to be nominated; beggars can't be choosers.

The more you love, the more you crave.

Acting for me is not a business, it's about trying to make pieces of art that I believe that I feel proud of. And it's the journey of that.
