My mum's American. She's from Detroit.

I don't want to massively slag off Marvel, I don't. Because they have just employed a woman to be their superhero, and so hallelujah.

Sometimes you can incubate a character and that can take me a month just sitting on it imagining it, doing everything from sketching it to taking long walks, but sometimes you can see the character immediately. A lot of it is instinctive.

I think acting can be very frustrating, and there's no experience that doesn't make you a better actor. So people may choose to explore their other talents.

You either are a good director or you're not.

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be an actor. It has just always been an inevitability on some level.

I don't think that anyone can really understand anything until it's understood on a cellular, emotional level.
