I'd actually really love to review books and films and plays, but you can't be an artist and a critic. I would love it if I could.

If I have to spend prolonged periods of time in a trailer, I go mad. Stuck in a metal box doing nothing, I lie there paralysed with boredom.

I wish I was a more adventurous person in a way. But actually, security is a really big deal for me.

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.

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

We live in a society where children are expected to become adults overnight.

I think it is kind of important to direct someone so the character is appealing, but, as an actress, I find it frustrating because I think, "Why do I have to be more likable than a man would have to be saying the same line?"
