You are not sure what to make of her, whether she is responsible for all this or she's innocent.
It's a great romantic story with very real people in it and I think it is open to so many interpretations like any great bit of literature.
When you're about to get married, and then you're not, it's all a big shock. You think, 'Well, okay, so I'm never going to lead a totally conventional life now.'
There are certainly contemporaries that I admire, like Emily Blunt. I think she is amazing.
I think you tend to try, during the time you've got off, to forget about the film. It was such a total world. I mean, the sets were claustrophobic, and as soon as you were on there, you were right back into it.
I think when you are an only child, parents are more protective and fearful because they've only got one of you. I was not allowed to do a lot of things that, if I'd been, say, number three, I would have.
I saw a lot of operas from backstage and watched a lot of rehearsals - my parents were singers.
It is interesting to break all the rules. I'm not married, I have a baby, and it feels infinitely more right.
There was an extended period of rehearsal, ... which meant everything became quite naturalized.
Before the first audition, when they asked me to come in and meet her, I thought 'I can't play Jane to Keira Knightley's Lizzie' but I went and I met her, and thought she was so fabulous, and thought 'if they're prepared to take a risk with her, then I'll go with it.' We became really close.
If you told my 13-year-old self that one day I'd be talking about how Tom Cruise and I had good chemistry, she'd think you were completely mad.
I never thought I'd make any money at all doing this business. Film was never even on the cards.
The films not just about love, but growing up as well.
Anger is not an accepted thing for women. And, you know, I do get angry. I feel its a very honest emotion.
