I've wanted to be an actress for as long as I can remember, and I can say I was almost born in the theatre. My mum went into labour while she was watching The Nutcracker Suite in New York - apparently I was kicking like mad.

I quite love sequins; I think it's the drag queen in me.

I've made apologies to people I needed to, but I can't apologise to people I don't know for things they don't understand.

I'm very lucky that I get to make a living out of acting, which is what I love, and the level of attention I receive has sometimes been my own fault and sometimes not been.

But there is something seductive and the character, Alfie is so charming, and does make you think like you are the most important thing in the world but he's not that nice, is he.

It was a really fun idea to have a fashion label with my sister but I don't have an awful lot of time for it because my first love and job is to be an actress.

I love cigarettes. Love them. I think the more positive approach you have to smoking, the less harmful it is.
