A good piece of art raises questions.

It sounds trite, but I like telling stories.

There's always going to be a separate version of you that people will create, and you have no control over it.

I try and avoid thinking of strategy and I tend to stick to my gun of doing things that I like and try to avoid things that I "should" be doing, and stay true to that.

One aspect of my mum's personality that has influenced me is her love of Hollywood and the golden era of black-and-white films.

I used to have the most visceral response to having my photo taken. I felt like instantly bursting into tears and running out of the room. I hated all the attention, which is such a stupid thing for an actor to say.

I was a really pretentious teenager.
