I'd quite like to do a film but I'd also love to do more theatre. I want to keep challenging myself with good roles. It's harder for women because there aren't as many challenging roles.

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've got friends who are so good at getting away with things, like going up to the desk to get upgraded on a plane, for example. I haven't got any of that kind of confidence in those situations. I look so awkward. I act awkward. I'm really apologetic. I fail to get anything that way.

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

I simply want to take a break and catch my breath. But I also think that, sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is to deliberately keep some time free and see what the world throws at you.

I admire the brazen qualities in people.

I don't really plan. I just see what happens.
