My remit has always been: I want to do something different from the last thing I've done.

I've always been quite shy. Very confident but very shy.

We'll always have art, darling.

I'd quite like to do a film but I'd also love to do more theatre. I want to keep challenging myself with good roles. It's harder for women because there aren't as many challenging roles.

I really love clothes, but I think I have a style of my own which is quite eclectic.

I'm crap at lying. I go bright red.

I come from the south, so you're useless and you're a bit pathetic. That's the first thing that the northerners think of you.

I feel like male patriarchy generally has been about repressing female sexuality because it's "scary."

Racism, specifically, is the state-sanctioned or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death.

I simply want to take a break and catch my breath. But I also think that, sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is to deliberately keep some time free and see what the world throws at you.

I love complex characters - strong females who are vulnerable but have a life and soul. That's what I'm drawn to and what I enjoy most.

To win our races, we will dare! The enemy may try every means to stop us, but look, "we won't care!

Always dream big dreams. Big dreams attract big people.

The principal thing in this world is to keep one's soul aloft.

Dreaming is not merely an act of communication; it is also an aesthetic activity, a game of the imagination, a game that is a value in itself.

My actual childhood, as opposed to my adolescence, was not spent in London.

I felt New York was a big, more stylish, more metropolitan Golders Green. I was thrilled.

Beauty is no handicap if you don't think about it.

I suppose love is never a sure thing, no matter what words are spoken. Love requires a leap of faith into the abyss, every time.

What kind of world permitted such terrible injustice, where good men were stripped of everything and soulless creatures of malice and hatred survived to glory in their pointless death?
