“When I come home, I am literally the most popular person with my friends' parents for doing 'The Archers.'”
“The key is working with great directors. A film is so many different people and all their talents, but particularly the directors, because of the idiosyncrasies of that person.”
“While you are improvising, you need to be prepared, and I like to have a sense of who the character is, what she likes to read, where she grew up, where we went to school, and what she has for breakfast, so that when I go to set, I'm free to explore.”
“If the part isn't always there on the page, I've had good relationships with writers where there's an openness to bring more to the role.”
“If you're in a film that you're proud of and you care about, then you're always happy to talk about it.”
“I hardly ever watch the news... I love reading newspapers, but I know they're dying out.”
“I would be writing an essay that was due in the next day until about 1 A.M., and then I would be up at 6 A.M. and on a train to Birmingham to record 'The Archers'. It was pretty intense.”
“It is disheartening when you read an interview with an actress, and it starts by describing what she is wearing.”
“I want to be paid fairly for the work that I'm doing. That's what every single woman around the world wants. We want to be paid on parity with a man in a similar position.”
“When you're a skateboarder or a snowboarder, it affects the way you talk, the way you move, the way you interact with the world and other people.”
“I'm not really massively into going out. I'm much more of a hibernator. It's nice to have people come to your house or go to someone's house, I think.”
“It's nice to have some continuity you can come back to. I feel that in coming home, coming back to London.”
“My bag always weighs a ton. I carry my whole bathroom with me. You never know what's going to happen in a day!”
“I love being able to change from big films to small films.”
“I am quite fortunate, because I can still be quite incognito. If you go out looking for attention, then you'll attract it, but if you're just getting on with your life, particularly in London where everyone is engrossed in what they're doing, you can keep a measure of anonymity.”
“I don't have much time for shopping so I pick things up when I can. My favorite labels are APC, Isabel Marant and Agnes B because the clothes are cut small and have a simplicity to them.”
“I just took everything so seriously in my early twenties. But now I'm like, 'life can be fun.' You don't have to overthink everything. I've found a way to be more at peace with things. I'm looking forward to turning 30.”
“There's such a sense of theatre in getting glammed up; it's like putting on a play or short film.”
“I think there is an enormous appetite for great roles for women. You can see that clearly with things like 'The Hunger Games.'”
“You just have to take these opportunities when they come along. They're not that frequent; you'll get a really good script, oh, maybe once a year if you're lucky.”
