Nowadays, most women just assume they have a right to be in the workplace, and any kind of discrimination they suffer is sort of more creeping.

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.

Films about women and their concerns are seen as frivolous, limited and, most damaging of all, niche.

I love the theatre and I love working in the theatre but I'm a big cinefile and I love the movies. I also do scribble but to limited success! I think I find being in a room on my own quite hard, which I think a lot of actors do because what we do is so inter-active. It's a very supportive profession... despite its reputation for being highly competitive it's actually one of the most collaborative professions you can do in the arts because you're always working in a team.

I love science fiction. I read a lot of science fiction.

If you are an actress in L.A., on your 40th birthday they should just hand you the keys to the lunatic asylum.

I really like films and plays that cross over different genres. So I'd like to do something that you think is a drama and then you think is a supernatural thing and then becomes a drama again. That's very vague.
