Throughout my life, I've known that if I change my hair, if I change my look, people I know will blank me in the street.
From Hattie Morahan
I love the virtuosity and imaginative chutzpah of 'Da Vinci's Demons,' and not just because my boyfriend is in it!
I'm halfway through Patti Smith's memoir 'Just Kids,' which is heart-stoppingly vivid. It drips with beauty and hope and devastating candour. I don't want it to end.
I became hooked on 'In Treatment,' which was so finely written and performed. Such a simple idea, and yet it delved into very complex territory with real grace and humanity.
I heard David Sedaris read live recently which was a complete delight. Few writers make me laugh out loud on the bus. He does.
I'm just interested in things that move me and make me think, make me laugh.
I would definitely say I'm a feminist. To me, it just means being attentive and mindful. It's about equality and equal treatment. It feels like a gut instinct.
There's a pressure to conform to particular images, and it feels a pretty exclusive pool of body image or facial image that is considered appealing. And in a way, that feels like pre-judging what an audience might actually want.
Cate Blanchett and Eileen Atkins are definitely among my top five actresses whose work I aspire to.
I am fascinated by people's flaws and delusions: all the messy bits of human nature we all try to pretend we don't have.
