I come from the south, so you're useless and you're a bit pathetic. That's the first thing that the northerners think of you.

I really love clothes, but I think I have a style of my own which is quite eclectic.

I was kind of overwhelmed by the idea that we are just balls of energy and that we have imposed terms on feelings.

I've always quite liked the idea of being an archeologist, sort of scrubbing around in the dirt.

What you aim for, as an actor, is to be able to play a range of different roles.

For me, there is a stigma attached to playing beautiful parts. They are often empty characters whom the action happens around. I'm more drawn to characters with a complex internal life, who have a burning frustration underneath that keeps them going.

We'll always have art, darling.
