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.

When you talk to women who were working as print journalists or in broadcasting in the '50s, and then you talk to women who were working in the late '60s, there's an enormous difference. There had already been a huge transition. Then, of course, you get well into the '70s and there were women with children working.

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

I'm not interested in going to see films that massively overrepresent men over women. It's lik,e how much more have we got to say about this? Like men in war and dealing with their masculinity in conflict. I just think we've exhausted the landscape.

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

I don't really want to do things that I feel like are going to send out a message that I don't really want to sign up for.
