Shopping is a bit of a relaxing hobby for me, which is sometimes troubling for the bank balance.
There are people all over the world who like to write fan letters in the voice of their pet: 'Hello, my name is Fifi and I'm a labrador and I think you're great. Paw paw!'
I think it's a bit short-sighted to play any character and not explore, in some respects, the way they act when things get really bad.
There are a lot of movies about misfits that are quite cool, that kind of glamorize it on some level. I think there are fewer films, certainly with a lady at the center, about the agony of what it's like to feel like you're not accepted, and you're different, and somehow you're weird.
I grew up watching his movies; I know everyone did, but I really feel that a lot of my formative years were informed by Woody Allen films.
I read everything. I've always got a book on the go and I'm really nerdy about it, I get through books and don't remember anything about them afterwards. But I read all sorts, from classic to contemporary.
I've always had horrible Valentine's Days.
My friends have noticed that if I suddenly go through a couple of months' unemployment, there seems to be a correlation that I don't ever tend to wear the same outfit twice. There will be such strange combinations of clothes because I'm probably a bit creatively stifled, so it's coming out in my wardrobe.
Directors assume I'm, like, establishment.
I don't think it's helpful to put them all in a box and say people are evil and freaks because they have gotten to the point where they have fallen out of the community of what it is to be a human being. That's worthy of investigation.
It sounds trite, but I like telling stories.
Some people just don't have the tools to deal with the stuff life throws at them.
You sit there, and you argue and you argue, and you sort of bully the hell out of the text until you're quite sure what it's revealing, and then you perform it.
I love the solitary, romantic idea of writing.
The kind of career that I want is not easy as a lady to manifest, because everyone wants a lady to be likable.
I don't want to constantly be making sacrifices. It feels like it's really difficult for the films I dream about making to turn up.
There's always going to be a separate version of you that people will create, and you have no control over it.
In high drama or high tragedy or anything, it's not really human unless there's some humor at the same time. And vice versa. So I guess I tend to gravitate towards projects which tread a dodgy tightrope between two things, which aren't really one or another.
I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be an actor. It has just always been an inevitability on some level.
As a child I loved ghost stories.
