You can't ignore the system and the power you acquire as an actor if you're in films that are successful.

I had a happier experience of the city as an actress than I had had as a model.

I like acting in London-not least because it means I can go home after the show every day, rather than being on location making a film.

It helps being from somewhere other than Hollywood, not having grown up with that sense of film-making. I really wasn't exposed to that as a young woman.

I'm not very good with stills. I get all twitchy.

It's always a help when you have worked with someone as you've got to know them a bit already.

Part of me misses the days when we have four channels in England and we were all talking about everything all the time.
