I'm drawn to damaged, complicated characters.

I've always been quite shy. Very confident but very shy.

We'll always have art, darling.

I'd quite like to do a film but I'd also love to do more theatre. I want to keep challenging myself with good roles. It's harder for women because there aren't as many challenging roles.

I really love clothes, but I think I have a style of my own which is quite eclectic.

I'm crap at lying. I go bright red.

I come from the south, so you're useless and you're a bit pathetic. That's the first thing that the northerners think of you.

I feel like male patriarchy generally has been about repressing female sexuality because it's "scary."

Racism, specifically, is the state-sanctioned or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death.

I simply want to take a break and catch my breath. But I also think that, sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is to deliberately keep some time free and see what the world throws at you.

I love complex characters - strong females who are vulnerable but have a life and soul. That's what I'm drawn to and what I enjoy most.

View your body as something God has entrusted into your care.

Some sins may help you to remember Allah while some blessings may cause you to forget Him

I think every good song tells a story, as ambiguous and vague as it may be. And if you know what a song is talking about, it can only help your performance.

Rule of thumb: if you think something is clever and sophisticated beware-it is probably self-indulgence.

If only there was a way I could cover my tension with the scent of eau de brass valls instead.

Greenmail, in case you're wondering, is when a company pays a raider a premium for his holdings-if he'll go away. What I think it really is is blackmail in a pin-striped suit.

I think if somebody does something stupid, it's okay to make fun of them, but [celebrities] have also gotten very conscious about social media, kind of like the Catholic Church in the 1500s.

For it is we who must pray for our daily bread, and if He grants it to us, it is only through our labour, our skill and preparation.

When we step out into the unknown that is when God is made known.

Beginner's luck is great for beginners.
