Because I didn't go to drama school, I didn't start in the business with any toolbox apart from enthusiasm and instinct. I'd throw everything at a part and sometimes realise that I had hit my limits.

I've obviously got one of those faces that people can forget.

Acting on stage is a living organism you can never pin down, and I believe the audience feeds off that, too.

Cate Blanchett and Eileen Atkins are definitely among my top five actresses whose work I aspire to.

Throughout my life, I've known that if I change my hair, if I change my look, people I know will blank me in the street.

I would definitely say I'm a feminist. To me, it just means being attentive and mindful. It's about equality and equal treatment. It feels like a gut instinct.

It's true: theatre has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I always liked everything about it. As a child, I used to get so excited about performing, I'd get the giggles.

I suppose one of the things that interest me about acting is unpicking what makes people tick and why they do what they do and what it means to be human.

I'm halfway through Patti Smith's memoir 'Just Kids,' which is heart-stoppingly vivid. It drips with beauty and hope and devastating candour. I don't want it to end.

I'm sure my mum was a huge influence on my wanting to be an actress: just seeing her doing it, seeing her love it, caring about it. Invest in something, take it seriously and be so wonderful.
