Believe it or not, I'm pretty good at just doing nothing.
Fashion is one thing, you kind of can change your silhouette and try this and try that. But I think that with skin care, you know anything that you put into your skin goes into your body, so you want to know it's actually good for you. So I think I don't believe in fashion when it comes to skin care if that makes sense.
What you're trying to do as an actor is somehow trick yourself into believing that these words have never been said, and so you've got to discover them for the first time.
I believe that a creative career is only as good as the risks that you take with it.
Theater is a space where you cross over from everyday life, because there are real people in that moment moving in front of you-you're being invited to believe in a story and cross that bridge.
I love dressing up, although that doesn't mean necessarily on the school run.
Inhibition is something I notice in hamstrung actors all the time. They can be wonderful up to a point and then become very self-conscious.
In my career, I thought I've never wanted to get anywhere in particular. I just wanted to work with interesting people on interesting projects.
There's very little reason in politics these days.
After two kids, I hit the pillow and go straight to sleep.
I'm not interested in using my father's death as some touch point for why I've become an actor - it's grossly opportunistic.
I've known the panic of financial struggle. I didn't grow up with money at all, and my family has certainly known the panic of, 'Oh, gosh, where's the next bit of money coming from?'
I want to be able to follow the example of those extraordinary British actresses who move effortlessly from film to TV to theatre roles.
Armani makes a fantastic lip gloss called 'Beige 100.'
