That's why I'm an actress - escaping into a world.

Yeah, a few of the films I made were so bad they didn't get released - they escaped.

I love escaping into film, because everyday life I find quite troublesome. So any excuse to go into a cinema and say goodbye to the world for a couple of hours, or in a book or whatever, is great.

I'm the kind of actor who has ventured into escaping from me.

Most of my films seem to be about people bewildered by the world around them, who don't fit into it and are trying to understand it.

The escape to an unchallenging fairy tale can be very nice and I'm all for that, but film can also challenge you to confront the realities of our world.

I've always been a fan of movies well before I got involved in the industry. The magic that it brings and being able to, I guess, escape your troubles, escape whatever is going on in life and getting to live in this moment and in the story and live in the lives of these characters.

We all want to escape our circumstances, don't we? Especially if you are an actor.

Characters who experience great trauma will sometimes create an escape.

Films should have the capacity to bring you into another world.
