“A lot of TV can be linear and cinematic and formulaic. What's to say that people can't be creative and surreal - and push boundaries? You can look at a piece of art and not necessarily know what it means or what the artist intended by it. It's the effect it has on you.”
“I don't think, as an actress, you want to be beautiful. It's actually a disadvantage because that's not where all the interesting parts lie.”
“I'd love to have a room full of taxidermy. I'd be devastated if my cat, Archimedes, ever died. I was debating the other day with a friend whether I should stuff him, but don't know whether he would end up looking like himself. I'd be really sad if he looked strange.”
“I would love to work into my eighties. I don't want to be someone who only does a couple of big films and then is famous for just 15 minutes.”
“I'm tall now, but when I was younger, I used to tower above everyone - I still feel conscious of that.”
“Tuppence was what my grandmother nicknamed my mother, so she gave it to me. My sister is called Angel, and my brother was going to be called Bubba or Sonny, until they let me and my sister name him Josh.”
“It's sad that so many people feel they need to alter their image. I think there is something really beautiful about ageing naturally.”
