“My dad still collects newspaper clippings about me.”

I don’t want to feel like I have to change myself or my image.

I’ve been told to be skinny before – it’s already happened, but it’s up to you to either listen or say no. I’m not listening.

I want women on-screen that we all either want to be, or we know, or we recognize.

My characters do have some fantastic taste in men.

There’s a reason why there’s a problem with bodies, and it’s because you never actually get to see any normal versions of them.

When you’re given a platform, and you’re allowed to perform, and someone’s there to heighten you as opposed to dampen you, that’s a nice feeling.

That’s something I’ve always appreciated watching actors that I’ve looked up to, is when they look like you and me, or they have a funny elbow, or they have, you know, a hairy face.

I found out I got ‘The Little Drummer Girl’ and my BAFTA nomination in quick succession, and I just didn’t expect it to be like that. I thought there would be a lot more time in between. It’s been an overwhelming experience.

And I’m a very physical person: I talk with my hands. And I felt how the clothes took that away from me. And that was the idea, I think. It was a way of limiting women.

Every time ‘Lady Macbeth’ and everyone involved in the film gets nominated, it’s amazing.

I can definitely hold my hands up and say wrestling wasn’t something that I grew up watching.

Someone asked if I wanted to be the first female Bond, and I was saying that I don’t think we necessarily need that whole conversation.

If you ever want to be interrogated, get Michael Shannon to do it. He’s an amazing man. I loved working with him.

The Kate Winslet thing has been a shocker. I was like, that is the most ridiculous claim.

The women I’m attracted to playing I hope will mean something to someone.

The Silence of the Lambs’ is my favourite book, favourite film.
