In a way, it's good not to be recognised as much off screen.

I'm not recognised much at all.

I don't really get recognised very much.

There is no way I'd have wanted to live in the Twenties. It was really crap for women.

I'd love to work in the States; I'd love to work anywhere where you get a good script and a good part to play. But I do love British film as well.

I did all sorts of jobs after drama school - working in a bar, as a teaching assistant. I probably learned as much from them as I did at drama school.
