I want people to think I'm sexy, but to know also that I've got an ordinary body and not feel intimidated.

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.

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

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'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.

I think it's very repressive for a woman to be constantly told that she has to make films about women to better represent women, but then the reverse is not found.
