I can't spend the rest of my life being pretty in a bonnet.

It's hard for actors to have to deal with the fact that they pour so much into their character, but the audience might have a negative assessment of them.

As a kid, I really loved 'Jane Eyre,' I used to fantasise that the past was so much better and my lifetime was crap.

I don't really want to play parts that I think are not fully developed or fleshed out, especially with female roles.

I think with the best actors, emotion is something that has no kind of check in them.

Women don't question themselves when they enter into a story that has male characters, but men do question the validity of a female narrative.

I would love to live free of the fear and sadness and real desperation that I think the effect of childbirth has on women, especially because we are expected to be so concerned by recovery from childbirth.
