I defy any woman that doesn't feel more elegant and more groomed and ready for an evening than if you have a blow dry.

I love dressing up for events; to me it's almost like wearing a costume for the evening.

I don't think any actors love taking their clothes off on film, unless you're an exhibitionist, which I'm certainly not.

Hairdressers call me dark blonde, but I think they're wrong. I feel far more naturally confident blonde. My mum's blonde, my sister's platinum blonde. I thought, 'When I grow up, that's what I'm going to look like.'

My mum is a bit unconventional; she's outdoorsy and has more of an emotional intelligence, whereas my dad is pragmatic; he's a businessman.

Once you take a role, you have to do it properly and do it justice.
