That, for me, actually is the most important thing about doing a period film is trying to make these people as lovable as they are back then.

Every time 'Lady Macbeth' and everyone involved in the film gets nominated, it's amazing.

I grew up in a very loud family where you had to fight to get your voice heard, in a good way.

If you ever want to be interrogated, get Michael Shannon to do it. He's an amazing man. I loved working with him.

You are hugely responsible for people following you. You need to work out why you are posting, what the message is, and what you are doing to these people.

I think it's good to not edit your life too much, or you give people different standards.

I was acting with all my childhood heroes: Meryl Streep, Saoirse Ronan, all of those amazing women.

I don't want to feel like I have to change myself or my image.

As beautiful as cinema is, it's a massive part of the problem of why we look at ourselves in the way we do.

I like a role where some of the character's motivations are confusing or at least interesting.

I can definitely hold my hands up and say wrestling wasn't something that I grew up watching.

Why aren't there these epic roles for women, for whatever age you are?

If people are noticing the hard work I'm doing, then that's a wonderful thing.

Feisty women are my calling!

I love all of Kate Winslet's characters. And Natalie Portman. If I can have a smidgen of what they've done, that would be awesome.

There was one moment when I was in L.A., and he was teaching me a move. I just looked at him, thinking, 'Oh my God, I'm being taught to wrestle by Dwayne Johnson. What the hell?'

I really take my hat off to anybody that steps in the ring because it's so hard - you're competing against your friends, and you're working in front of an audience who tells you exactly what they're thinking.

Throughout my life, I've been that annoying kid on every stage at school, in every talent contest.

I do like a bit of danger. Guns, cars, running, bullets. I'm up for it.

Girls have that wonderful thing where they try to throw each other off, not wanting to appear too eager.

I've been told to be skinny before - it's already happened, but it's up to you to either listen or say no. I'm not listening.

For me, I really appreciate seeing real bodies on screen, that variation, not the same frames we saw for the majority of our upbringing, making us feel like we have to look that way.

I used to reenact 'Titanic' all the time.

The fact that I've been nominated for a BAFTA is insane.

I think everyone's always interested in playing a spy, right? That's something we grow up admiring, which is so strange, but it's just a very clever and quick world that we all want to be a part of.

Someone asked if I wanted to be the first female Bond, and I was saying that I don't think we necessarily need that whole conversation.

Do we need to have a female Bond? Couldn't we just make something new?

As an actor, it's very interesting to make the audience love you while you are doing horrendous things.

I played Mary at the age of seven in my first nativity play, and I loved it - there is something so fascinating about embodying someone else.

When I look for roles, I am looking for incredibly powerful women.

With 'Lady Macbeth,' I had two other things offered to me, and they would have also been very fun, but you just have to figure that out. And then you do it.

I wrestled at the Staples Centre at 'Monday Night Raw' when I was 21 years old.

I got a really good insight into the world of wrestling.

I always hate it when I see the wrong person in massive roles, so for me, my biggest fear would be accepting a role I thought I wouldn't find the rhythm of.

What audiences love with series is that they can invest in characters for such a long period of time, and it's the same for actors. You can truly tell your story; then it's done.

I love Le Carre's writing.

When you're given a platform, and you're allowed to perform, and someone's there to heighten you as opposed to dampen you, that's a nice feeling.

I want women on-screen that we all either want to be, or we know, or we recognize.

The biggest thing about 'Lady Macbeth' is the fact that people are so surprised that this woman is so amazing, and really, it shouldn't be so amazing that this incredible character is on our screens.

I've got quite a vivid imagination and I'm easily overwhelmed by sensations and things that are beautiful or scary. I don't think I've ever seen a ghost - I think I'm probably haunted by my own ghosts than real ones.

I like the idea of taking off like a bird.

When you're heartbroken, you're at your most creative - you have to channel all your energies into something else to not think about it. Contentment is a creativity killer, but don't worry - I'm very capable of making myself discontented.

I can't ever seem to shake the feeling that when things are really good it essentially means that things are going to go really bad. When I feel calm and settled, there is always an underlying feeling of impending doom... I don't think that it's healthy.

I'm just a black hole for stuff. No one should ever hand me anything, because I get so easily distracted. I'll be like, 'Oh, look, something shiny!' I'm glad I never learned how to drive. I would be really dangerous.

I think music should be scary. Music is an exorcism.

It would be too frightening for me to consider myself a role model. But I like the idea of not being afraid of letting your imagination rule you, to feel the freedom of expression, to let creativity be your overwhelming drive rather than other things.

I always wanted to sound like a man, like Jeff Buckley or Tom Waits.

I think I just get excited by music, and, like, singing is a very physical thing. It releases endorphins in your body. You're using almost muscle in there, and I think that adrenaline really helps to kind of make the songs fresh every time.

Music to me is so internal. It's physical and it's emotional. Whereas fashion is so much about the external that it's almost like a break. It's not inner turmoil. It's total escapism.

The stage is a place where I can be wholly myself. Even though you're in front of people almost to be judged, it is a place without judgement.
