I Wanted To Be A

It's Tricky Playing People That You Don't Like And Finding A Way To Empathise With Them. It's Challenging And Very Exciting For An Actor.

I Don't Think I Want To Play Title Roles. I Don't Want To Be The Face On The Poster. I Don't Want That Pressure Of Having The Success Riding On My Shoulders. I Just Want To Play The Most Interesting Parts. I Actually Think It's Incredibly Rare To Get An Interesting Female Character That Is The Lead In A Film. Usually The Character Parts Are So Much More Interesting To Play.

I Wanted To Be In A Baz Luhrmann Film. It's Just Extraordinary. He's So Amazing At What He Does. He Makes The Most Incredible Films.

One Of The Things I Love About The Theater Is That No One Can Tell You To Stop. Once You're Onstage, It's Three Hours, And Whether You're Completely Off Or You're Just Horrendous, You've Got To Find A Way To Leave An Impression. There's Not That Terrible Thing That You Get When You're Making A Movie, Where You Get In Your Car At The End Of The Day Knowing That Something You're Not Proud Of Was Immortalized On Film, And You Can't Fix It Because They Won't Reshoot It.

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.
