Youth makes you brave, I suppose. When you're young, you make a fool of yourself all the time. Because of all the rejections and the criticism you get all the time, there has to be a drive there.

Filming is long - you get very tired, and your skin breaks out and you get lumps and bumps. It's easier if you're allowed to have bags under your eyes.

American scripts are usually non-stop conversation. People talking over each other. I like that.

You suddenly find yourself somewhere and you wonder, how did I get in this room? That happens to me all the time, every day!

I wasn't frightened of people, but I didn't have a clue about the adult world.

I spend plenty of time in London and it doesn't scare me, but it's a lonely place, even if you've got friends there. My job takes me all around the world, meeting lots of interesting people. But I think if I couldn't get home, if I couldn't get back to what I consider my real life I'd be frightened.

I don't know what I'd do if I had to look pretty all the time.
