I felt like that growing up - that I didn't have a voice.

We're always steered towards what is good in the canon by a male perspective. I like to do plays with a female protagonist who finds her way through. My way is unusual.

What I really would like to see is more female stories out there. Particularly older female stories, because women are predominantly ticket-buyers.

I'm drawn to female stories, of which there aren't that many, and particularly to stories now about older women. The things they have to confront and override is really fascinating. That's a whole untold part of our world.

The relationship between an actor and a director is like a love story between a man and a woman. I'm sure sometimes I'm the woman.

Stay single as long as you can - you'll be married the rest of your life.

I just think you should get married if you want to have some kids.

I believe that marriage is between one man and one woman, the same as I've believed all my life.
