I've never had a study in my life. I'm like Jane Austen - I work on the corner of the dining table.

I'm a Jane Austen/Jane Eyre kind of girl.

Jane Austen is very amusing.

I imagined being a famous writer would be like being like Jane Austen.

I identify entirely with Jane Austen's point of view, on everything.

Before 'Austenland,' I got do a lead role in 'Northanger Abbey', which is Jane Austen. Growing up in England, you can't really ignore Jane Austen. It's always been there.

I'm named after Jane Austen's Emma, and I've always been able to relate to her. She's strong, confident but quite tactless.

I'm kind of a mash-up of taste - Graham Greene and Jane Austen; W.G. Sebald and Alice Munro.

Jane Austen was writing about boring people with desperately limited lives. We forget this because we've seen too many of her books on screen.

I've worked with an awful lot of people. Katy Hepburn, Spencer Tracy.
