I guess I'm a bit of a romantic.

Once you're playing someone, you shouldn't be judging them in any way. That's what being an actor is - it's having empathy for people that are different from yourself. Once you've committed to that person, your responsibility is to tell that story.

I've always been a feminist, and what I love in my work is being able to explore a full-sided woman and not patronize her.
-
I'm not a huge jewelry fan.
-
I just took everything so seriously in my early twenties. But now I'm like, 'life can be fun.' You don't have to overthink everything. I've found a way to be more at peace with things. I'm looking forward to turning 30.

I did think that acting would be much more like being a pop star. Now I'm here, I can't think of anything more different.
-
I would describe my look as 'ladylike rock chick.'
-
I am definitely romantic, and I love romantic stories - that's why I keep making romantic movies.

I have such an eclectic taste. I like listening to classical music and pop music.

She was obsessed with French and Swedish cinema. I also remember our mother showing us 'Gone With the Wind' very early on. She absolutely loved Vivien Leigh, so it must have been a formative experience for me, thinking, 'Oh, maybe one day I'll be like Vivien Leigh.'

Without sounding too pretentious, I feel my job is almost like becoming a monk or a nun - it's a calling.

I learnt circus skills in drama group, so I can juggle.

I love 'Annie Hall'; I will always come back to that film again and again. Diane Keaton has been such an inspiration to me. She always brings humour, but complexity, and I love watching her on screen. She's got real charisma.

If the part isn't always there on the page, I've had good relationships with writers where there's an openness to bring more to the role.

I always love listening to Bob Dylan. 'Blood on the Tracks' is one of my favorite albums.

It is disheartening when you read an interview with an actress, and it starts by describing what she is wearing.

I don't actually think there has ever been too much emphasis on what I am wearing.

I'm attracted to playing people who aren't necessarily straightforward.

I'm not really massively into going out. I'm much more of a hibernator. It's nice to have people come to your house or go to someone's house, I think.

A fashion show is like a 10-minute play, but there's all this anticipation; Everyone arriving, finding their seats, then there's 10 minutes of people walking past and clothes and music, then the whole thing is finished.
-
With every film that you do, you're always so nervous. You feel exposed because you know people will see this eventually. You sort of have to put all that out of your head. What will be will be. But it's nerve wracking.

I usually have two or three books on the go at the same time. If I'm in different moods, I want to read different things.
