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.

I have a very strong, probably slightly aggressive personality, and so that just ends up coming out regardless of what I try to do.

I think if I was ever really going to be more serious about writing I'd have to try and find some way to do it with other people. I do find the silence kind of eerie.

You don't have to conform to a very specific aesthetic today, whereas 1950s women definitely had to.

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?"

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.

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.
