I cheated at the Model United Nations when I was 13 and had to get up and apologise in front of the whole conference.

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.

I realise there's an innate paradox in promoting oneself on the one hand and saying, 'Oh, I don't want to be famous,' on the other.

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.

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

When you're on stage, you build strong relationships with the actors, but it's a story you tell with the audience - you have to include them, you have to respond to them, they have to understand the narrative.

I think I was quite lucky in that I went to an all-girls school. I was never put in an environment where I had to be the other - the woman as opposed to the man - all the way through my education. I was never made to feel that way at home.
