Playing Joanne in 'London to Brighton' was my first taste of film, and I loved every second of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think one of my very favorite films of all time was with Peter Sellers when he played Chauncey, the gardener. Being There.
I had seen 'Pillowman' in London and loved it. Being part of something that I, as an audience member, would like to be part of was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had.
I used to say that theatre was my favourite thing. But the more I do film, the more I appreciate it.
My auntie Anne took me to 'Phantom of the Opera' in London. I thought it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
The 'Pride and Prejudice' with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle was something I watched on a weekly basis with my mum at home in Oxfordshire.
I played the best role I've ever seen on TV or film in the last five years. It was hugely gratifying.
My first film, 'Like Minds,' was with Toni Colette, who was extraordinary. I mean it was basically a mini-masterclass for acting on film at a time when all you could probably see were my eyebrows bouncing up and down on screen.
'Up the Junction' went on to inform my love of British social realism. It was the first film I saw of this ilk, a very stark, visceral reflection of England, an England I didn't necessarily feel a part of but that I knew was out there. You could almost smell the bread and butter and cabbage.
I fell in love with London and one particular era in London.
'Jane Eyre' was one of those films that I was familiar with as a kid, and I always enjoyed the story.
