“If people are noticing the hard work I’m doing, then that’s a wonderful thing.”

I’ve tried not to get too bogged down by what people want you to be.

With ‘Lady Macbeth,’ I had two other things offered to me, and they would have also been very fun, but you just have to figure that out. And then you do it.

Lady Macbeth’ is a great opportunity for me to prove that maybe the outcome of ‘The Falling’ was not necessarily a fluke.

I do like a bit of danger. Guns, cars, running, bullets. I’m up for it.

Do we need to have a female Bond? Couldn’t we just make something new?

When I look for roles, I am looking for incredibly powerful women.

We tend to kind of write women out of history.

Girls have that wonderful thing where they try to throw each other off, not wanting to appear too eager.

You never see a normal spot, a bag under the eye or an unplucked eyebrow, because that’s not how Hollywood works.

I grew up in a very loud and dramatic household, and we loved being in the spotlight.

I was acting with all my childhood heroes: Meryl Streep, Saoirse Ronan, all of those amazing women.

I can’t remember a Friday when I was younger when I wasn’t eating a pizza, flirting with the barman.

Why shouldn’t there be more epic, brilliant female characters onscreen?

If you think you can do it, you can.

I read somewhere that 77 per cent of all the mentally ill live in poverty. Actually, I’m more intrigued by the 23 per cent who are apparently doing quite well for themselves.

My life is to play golf, sit home with the wife and kids, and do things with the family more than I used to.

I’m an OCD neat freak. I can’t stand messes. I make my bed every morning. Laundry. I do it all.

Somebody has to do something, and it’s just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us.

I want to let them know they can have this much fun by doing something legal like me rapping for instance.

If I’m a true follower of my lord and saviour Jesus Christ, I got to do the things you’re supposed to be doing.

I did not take this dress or do anything but by the command of Our Lord and of the Angels.
