On Film Sets I Can See Everyone,

It Was My Dream For Years... To Train. Dominic [cooper] Went And He's Doing Alright. But Some People Don't Go And Do Brilliantly. Although I Think There Are Things I Missed From Not Having Trained. I Think I'd Be More Confident On Stage Had I Gone Because I Think It Means You're Equipped With Better Vocal Training And Things Like That.

I Didn't Want To Do A Costume Drama. It's A Great Thing To Do, But I've Done Them, And I Didn't Want To Do The Same Thing Again. Of Course, Costume Dramas Can Be From All Different Eras, But At The Time, I Just Felt Very Sure That I Didn't Want To Be Boxed In As An English Actress. I Wanted To Be An Actress, Rather Than An English Actress.

The Thinnest I've Ever Been Was After I Had My Appendix Out, During The London Run Of The Seagull. I Went Down To 112 Pounds And Realized My Brain Doesn't Work When I'm That Thin, So I Can't Do My Job. That's Why, When I Came Out Here, I Never Had That Whole Hollywood Pressure Thing. I Never Said I Wanted To Be A Lead Actress; I Never Said I Wanted To Be A Film Actress. This Need To Trump Everyone Bewilders Me. I'm Only 25. I'm Not Better Than Anyone. I Just Want To Watch Other People And Learn To Be Good.

I'd Like To Do A Play, But I Can't Find The Right Thing. I Don't Want It To Be A Starring Role. I Just Want To Play A Really Interesting Character.

It's Always Harder To Maintain Raw Enthusiasm Or Joy Than To Go Into A Really Dark Place.
