All the libel lawyers will tell you there's no libel any more, that everyone's given up.

You have a huge amount of confidence when you're younger, which slowly ebbs away for the rest of your life. You think: 'No problem. I can do that. Why shouldn't I do it?'

I'm often accused of being prudish, but the opposite is true.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
