To be honest with you, a lot of directors can be very lazy.

It's fantastic to strive towards a nice life where you eat nice organic food and your children go to a nice school and you can afford nice clothes and nice perfume and the hypoallergenic make-up. But there's never a day goes by, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, that I don't think about where I'm from.

Some directors cast you because they trust you to do the performance - but then they forget to direct you.

I want to prove that you don't have to come from Oxford University or Rada - and you don't have to have parents that support you - to succeed.

It's important to have masculine energy around your child.

I respond very well to well-written material and women who have had an effect on society, something tragic or monumental has happened to them.

Catholicism played such a huge part in my life, I would not have survived without my faith.
