I Want To Be In 'glee,' But

People Always Say, "you Played Such A Strong Character." I Remember Someone Said That To Me When I Played A Role In Shame, And She Was A Suicidal Mess. I Said, "she's Not Strong At All; She's Incredibly Weak." But "strong" To People Means "real." It Means You Believe That's A Person Who Exists, As Opposed To Some Two-dimensional Depiction Of Women.

If You're Walking Down The Street In L.a., People Do Sort Of Look At You Like You're A Hooker Because It's So Rare To See Someone Just Walking.

I Was Quite Straight-laced. I Was Quite Academic Until I Was About 14 And Then I Went To Boarding School Where I Had The Opportunity To Continue To Be Very Academic, But Got Less Interested In It And Became More Involved In Acting. And Then When I Was Applying For Universities I Used A Couple Of Places On My Ucas Form To Apply For Drama School Without Telling Anyone... But Didn't Get Into Drama School. But That Was The Most Rebellious Thing I Did.

I've Never Been Obsessed With Celebrity Or Star-struck Or Anything. I Met Penelope Cruz When We Were In Toronto, Who I Think Is A Goddess And An Unbelievable Actress, And She Introduced Herself. As She Walked Away From The Table I Had To Take A Deep Breath, Which Was Strange Because I've Never Had That With Anyone.
