If you read reviews that you think by their very nature are not respectful of the actresses involved or not appreciating the work as it should be, I think you should write to reviewers or comment and say, "Are you kidding me?"

I have always been interested in gender politics, so I'm not that keen on doing things that don't represent a truth about women.

I feel that it's important to fail now and again. For instance, if I go for a job and I don't get it, that makes me not a better person, but more balanced, more aware of what life is really like.

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

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

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