I think at some stage, I would love to have another child. I would love to settle into a relationship that was really important to me. I actually am not good at the balance at that.

It was very natural for me to want to disappear into the theatre, I am really very shy.

Dealing with these emotions as an actress is like being a boxer put into the ring.

There's no drugs, no Tom in a dress, no psychiatrists.

As a child, my whole life was books. They were my fantasy. That's where I could go. That was a lot of times [what] saved me.

No matter how much you're going to be criticized or no matter how big of a risk it is, the boldness is the thing that helps you

I think love is the core emotion. Without that, and I've certainly existed without that, it's a very empty life.
