'Sophie's Choice' is actually the reason I became an actress.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
When I wanted to be an actress, I never wanted really to be the kind of actress I became.
I don't have an exact moment when I decided I wanted to be an actress - it kind of was just really a part of my growing up.
I got pigeonholed a bit. When I wanted to be an actress, I never wanted to be the kind of actress I became.
I had immense ambition to become a really valuable actress.
I guess I've sort of always wanted to be an actress, except when I was five, which, I did want to be the Queen of England.
It was not really a career choice that I had to make. It was something I knew right from the beginning. I had to be an actress... period.
I didn't choose to be an actress.
I was going to change my name to Sophie Windsor, but then I decided not to. I prefer to go into the room just as Sophie Winkleman.
I don't remember sitting down and saying, 'This is why I want to be - an actress.' I just knew. It was never a conscious decision or a revelation.
