I always joke that I'm a British actress trying to break into Scandinavian TV.

I grew up watching Scooby Doo and Thelma was my favourite character.

Essentially the Succubus is a mythical figure - who used to come in and cause trouble with innocent men.

If the right job came along, absolutely with bells on I would work in Sweden.

I love getting dressed up.

I don't really see myself as famous.

Normally I'm really lucky because I can go down to my local shops and no one cares. I take the Tube and the bus so it's kind of the perfect balance.

It's nothing sinister but my private life belongs to me.

I think we sort of are all fans of love really, if you're not then you're too cynical aren't you?

The lack of culpability of the perpetrator and his or her transference of blame onto alcohol or other substances only perpetuates the violent behaviors.

The West is boring itself to death! And talking itself to death!

Well, now that he's finished one building, he'll go write four books about it.

I'm not fat. It's just my awesomeness swelling up inside of me.

Horrible to say, in a manner I am a Communist.

I have found that to love and be loved is the most empowering and exhilarating of all human emotions.

When you're told there's no way you can marry the woman you love and your only hope of being near her is to marry her sister, wouldn't you do the same?

Every time I play in a movie, I never expect that it'll be huge. I don't like thinking about that, because it's so scary.
