I have always hated nightclubs, and don't like loud music.

My character in 'Shame' is an outrageous person. Loud and uncompromising and I begged Steve McQueen to give me the job.

I've always played characters that were younger than myself.

I'm more the sort of person who doesn't like hugging strangers because we don't know each other, so we shouldn't.

I probably dreamt about running off to America or something when I was 16 because it just seemed like I was studying algebra and going, 'What am I going to use this for?'

You can spend an entire day walking around in New York, whereas in L.A., it always ends at some point because you have to find a way to get home.
