I love complex characters - strong females who are vulnerable but have a life and soul. That's what I'm drawn to and what I enjoy most.

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

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

There are lots of moments that are great for an actress.

I feel safe that theater will always serve women in different ages.

Brexit for me was really interesting because I was in the heart of Yorkshire, which is a "leave" area. It was quite odd actually, a real deep sense of unease. You felt very odd for your country. You have lots of people that are angry. It's a very physical and public stand that these people are making.

I haven't got one or two people that I aspired to be like.
