You only do good work when you're taking risks and pushing yourself.

I know from my own experience that great films and great actors can have a really big influence on you. There is a place for art in the world, and if you're lucky enough to be good at something and to keep being given work, it's not such a bad thing.

You think that adulthood will hit and you'll suddenly be more capable. But that doesn't happen, ever, does it?

You can't be a woman and not be a feminist, I don't think. If you care about the world and the world you exist in and your rights.

I love acting but I also love writing, especially comedy.

My parents have a strong work ethic, but their attitude to life, their philosophy, is: 'whatever makes you happy.

I love disappearing. That's what acting is. For me it's about putting on a persona, stepping into a pair of shoes. It's my face, but I'm using it as a tool for that spirit, that character.
