I'm not a huge jewelry fan.
I'm very independent, creatively, always trying to push myself - and I think that comes from my mother.
I've never done a superhero movie. It's very nice to you as an actor in several worlds to go and to experiment.
I would describe my look as 'ladylike rock chick.
I'm a real geek. I love spending time researching a character and reading about them.
I always hope for roles that have some depth and that I can get my teeth into and that will challenge me, in some way.
I've done a lot of very low-budget indie films, so it was just really exciting and fun to be doing a film where there's a lot more time and these huge, vast sets. I was like a kid in a playground. It was amazing!
I like to keep pushing myself and trying things out. I get easily bored, so I need a challenge.
Fashion choices are never arbitrary. Even if you say you don't care, that's a decision. There's something you're trying to say.
But for everyone, I think, there is always a pressure to conform, and I guess as you get older you realize it's less interesting to do that. It starts with you, though, saying, 'I know what I like doing and that's what I'm going to do.
I'm too much left brain. I very much have an emotional response to things; I love literature and films and storytelling. I need to nourish my right side, it doesn't get a lot of exercise.
When you're believing in the person that you're playing, you feel protected. It's about being true to that person you're playing.
I think that when something happens when you're growing up, like a death or divorce, it does open the world slightly because things aren't as straightforward.
When you're a young actor, there's this pressure to rush. But I hope to be doing this into my sixties and seventies, so I'd prefer to take my time.
