“I think there's always a way to bring something, even if it is just the girlfriend role, as long as you're playing it with an idea of who that person is on their own, away from the male character.”

“It's a shame that ethnic minorities aren't getting a crack at different types of roles. There needs to be a bit of a change.”

“I'm ambivalent about tech.”

“You just never see people of different ethnicities in period dramas.”

“It happens a lot that women have to play the girlfriend role, which isn't as three-dimensional as the male role.”

“It's so hard to get into this industry. There are so many people who are so talented, and they never get those opportunities.”

“If you read the script, and the character's got something in it that you relate to, then I am keen. But I really think, a lot of the time, my successful auditions are those where I really care about the characters.”

“I was 16 and standing on Tottenham Court Road when this woman came over and asked me if I was an actress. She wanted me to audition for an online drama she was directing. I had time to kill, so I thought, 'Why not?'”

“I'd like to work at the Royal Court Theatre, please.”

“I'm not really into destiny, but it's funny - I bumped into a woman who told me about an audition, and now I have a BAFTA.”

“My mum records everything I'm in on VHS. Like, who still has VHS? I told her it's all online now, but she still tapes it.”

“I don't know if I ever really think about being a role model. But I guess if you're in the public eye and people are looking at what you do, you do want to be a good role model, and you want to kind of be seen in a good light.”

“America seems much more diverse and has more exciting casting - they really take risks.”

“Sometimes, with portrayals of domestic violence, the women involved are just victims with no personality, just completely trodden-down. But people continue to live their normal lives: they go out; they continue to have arguments with their partners, even if there is always the fear of where that might end up.”

“Anything in which you're playing someone real does make you feel responsible for making the story as true as it can be.”
