Fancy algorithms are slow when N is small, and N is usually small.
I've been doing Pride and Prejudice all summer, so suddenly the chance to be holed up with a bunch of marines is quite attractive, and probably a necessary dose of male energy.
I've been on stage plenty of times, and one of the things about being a stage actress is you have a 3-month run to revisit the story nightly and play it again.
I've never done a film in Los Angeles, so I don't know what that would be like - that experience of working in a big studio. I can't imagine... yet.
Sometimes it irks when people come up in the street and say, 'Oh I'm a huge James Bond fan' - when you obviously want them to be a fan of your work in particular.
You get those couples who are very fearful of bringing children into the mix because they feel like somehow that link between them as a couple is going to somehow dissolve or become less powerful or whatever. And that somehow the child is going to disrupt their happy stage.
I would love to play the lead in a big romantic comedy. That's definitely a dream of mine.
You can get things out of acting with someone a second time around that you don't necessarily get the first time because you're more familiar, more comfortable.
I remember times of anxiety, ups and downs, and times of unexpected windfalls. But my parents loved what they did. And because their work was also their hobby, it taught me that work could be fulfilling.
One goes on with the blithe belief that who you really are is transparent to everybody. Then you realise, with some horror, that in fact it's not. So all you can do is keep muddying the waters a bit.
When the eyes are on you for the first time, you can't believe that people aren't criticising you.
What I find sexy is when someone's having fun and able to look right back at you.
Success is freedom - scripts coming your way and getting to choose the stories you want to tell.
Looking back, I just think I was a really average sort of girl.
