To not want children or not be considerate of them is a very unwomanly thing to be, from a certain point of view.

Every actor turns everything round to their character.

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.

My remit has always been: I want to do something different from the last thing I've done.

It was really fun to play the woman in charge and in control. She's powerful and she uses the aspects of being a woman. She uses her sexuality as a weapon.
