On screen, everyone stares at your face, but on stage, you can basically play anybody.

I do tend to find when you're playing characters, often - just for the time you're playing them - there are sides of your personality that get stronger because you draw on them more.

My dad is a big extrovert - he's a doctor - but he always loved Shakespeare, and he took us to tons of theater.

I went to a very academic school, but I never really quite... I think because not that many people were particular creative or arty, I felt a little bit different.

I always saw myself as a stage actress, and that was the reason I wanted to act, but very slowly, I've changed.

I think my natural home was always the stage.

I doubt myself a lot but go forward at full throttle anyway.

Chris McQuarrie cast me in 'Mission Impossible' because he'd seen 'The Crown' and loved it.

I'm not a model. I don't really think much about how I look. If I did, I'd go mad.

My favourite thing is cooking for my friends. There are 13 of us who all met at university. They come round once a week, and I make a huge lasagne.
