I don't think anyone expected me to get the BAFTA. The bookies didn't have me down. It's definitely made a huge difference in my career, but I don't dwell on it.

Britain has enormous amount of talent, as we've seen from the BAFTAs. It's all here, and it has to be allowed to flourish.

The BAFTAs give the British point of view, and the Oscars give the American point of view, but the truth is we're all working in an international industry.

Yes, I won the Bafta. I thought the British were very intelligent.

Games aren't going to go away. BAFTA's got a category for games as an art form. The Academy should think about that, too.

The Emmys is great, but the Golden Globes, you have the stars of television and the stars of movies in one place.

After those first two BAFTAs, I didn't really get offered anything, which makes you think, 'Oh, no!' And, after I finished the second series of 'Broadchurch,' nothing came up for six months, which really is a long time, and I got a bit panicky.

It's nice to get your glad rags on for awards like the Baftas, but it doesn't happen all the time.

The thing about the UK is we don't really make that many great movies.

As a young girl, I was too intent on getting to London and drama school and out of east Yorkshire to think about winning Oscars. I did win a Bafta once, and was so unprepared for it I jabbered on for a minute - a minute too long.
