I just don't see myself as the heroine in my own narrative.

I'm not particularly needy, and I'm not particularly anxious. I don't look for a director to tell me I'm doing a good job or that I'm great. I don't need to be stroked. It's more my own yardstick.

I just can't see myself as a trophy wife. I can't imagine not having my own life.

An actress once advised me, 'Make sure you do your own laundry - it will keep you honest.'

I just want to be myself and go for my own dreams and goals.

You're always more critical of your own country. People will talk about stuff in Britain, and I'll go: 'Aw, it's not that bad,' but at home, it's different. It's inside you.
