I love science fiction. I read a lot of science fiction.
From Romola Garai
There's nothing very interesting about my life.
As a kid, I really loved 'Jane Eyre,' I used to fantasise that the past was so much better and my lifetime was crap.
There are people who you see on screen and think, 'Wow, that's a slim person,' and in the flesh they look nearly dead.
I want people to think I'm sexy, but to know also that I've got an ordinary body and not feel intimidated.
I get nonplussed by all the Fifties retro-revival aesthetic. Would we really want to be in our pinnies in our kitchen weeping? I find the kitchen, housewifey aesthetic repugnant.
The advent of digitally enhancing images - and the fact that actresses weren't protesting against that - created an environment where big corporations felt like they had total ownership over the bodies of actresses.
The point of being a movie star is that people cast you in a role. Actors tie themselves in knots trying to get out of that.
If you have the opportunity as an actor to control your career in any way, then you've won the jackpot.
When I was a child, I always wanted to be funny and to please people in my family. As you grow up that instinct becomes more refined, but it's still there.
