It's not often you get female characters who don't fit into a box.

I think that female roles, they can be victims, they can be sympathetic, they can be in pain, they can be in suffering - but they can't be ugly. I think there's so much fear surrounding that, that it makes a film unlikeable, that it won't sell.

The kind of career that I want is not easy as a lady to manifest, because everyone wants a lady to be likable.

Nobody engages in a film, regardless of what your job is in it, to make a bad one.

I have an uncle who lived to 101, and my father died at 95, so I have a second career ahead of me.

I have never before, in my long and eclectic career, been gifted with such an abundance of natural beauty as I experienced filming 'War Horse' on Dartmoor.

Obviously I've gone out of my way in my career to not look good, so it's always nice to, every once in a while, get the opposite going.

If you're an artist, create music and put it out on the Internet. If you do this consistently, your fan base will continue growing, and that will power your entire career.
