I'm not much of a crier but it is mildly soul-destroying and exposing to do something physical that you are terrible at in front of other people.

I'm such a diva on set.

It just proves good movies don't need 100 million dollars to be good.

I had to learn to dance for 'The Adjustment Bureau' and it was nearly impossible. I turned up with my knees knocking in my leotard and went home and cried my eyes out.
-
It's quite hard to faze me. I'm fairly un-shockable.
-
I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.
-
It's nothing to be ashamed of to have a stutter.
-
There is absolutely, 100 percent, a light at the end of the tunnel for anyone who stutters.
-
I find it quite hard to sum up my relationship in a sound bite. I feel that it trivializes it for other people's pleasure. It's an adventure.

Americans are a lot more open, of course. There's something more declamatory in the way you express emotions. It's a stereotype but it's true. British people can appear repressed in expressing emotions. Not very good at self-evaluating, or affirming situations, touching, anything like that.

It's sort of a meat market, the whole awards thing, and I don't think you can predict it anymore - who's going to like what you've done, if it's worthy or not. And hopefully, that's not why you make a film, because if you're distracted by that, or only striving for that, you don't do it justice.

If you're in America a lot, it's easy to get into playing American. All of it, the sounds, the energies, all very different. But it's really hard to do the accent. I tend to try and stay in it all day, which is the only way I can manage it.

A lot of period dramas can appear quite arch to most people, stuffy.

After this interview, I'm going to immigration to try to sort out my Green Card, just like any other normal person.

I'm Sudafed-ed up, but it's alright because I'm having to do this rather sultry scene, so maybe it's OK that my voice is three octaves lower.
-
I would love to be on Broadway!

I think it is nice for people to appreciate a slow-burning, beautiful story that makes you feel good when it is over.

It's very hard to play the straight lead girl and still make her sparkly and fun and real.
-
I think for me the job always has to be the right thing at the right time.
-
I'm about to do my second Bikram yoga class in Anchorage, Alaska. It's the only way to stay warm. I've got to get into shape. I've been eating nothing but fish and chips.

I don't really watch that much TV, to be honest.
