There's a sense most notably with my movies that for people to turn up, and make them big, you have to have a celebrity status. But it's not a choice I've made. It comes to you.

People know my characters like Alice Morgan in 'Luther' or Alison Bailey from 'The Affair.' For me, that's a compliment, a kind of joy.

People don't know what goes on in my private life, so they have to make conjecture from something that is photographed.

Judgment comes from you comparing yourself to other people, and expectations of what you think life should be.

I think I'm a bit of a loner, and actually quite enjoy alone time; friends become people you want to actually spend time with rather than people who are just in your life. I think it's a nice place to be.

There are a lot more roles for men than there are for women. So men get their fee up by sheer quantity of material.
