About her Orgullo y prejuicio (2005) co-stars: We were like one big family. We took over the house. It was so much fun. Brenda Blethyn (Mrs Bennett) mummied us all - when we had days off she took us on day trips to a llama farm.
My parents were completely against it. They wanted me to go to a
university. They didn't know any actors; no one in my family was an
actor. They were scared.
[on Shame
(2011)] When I read the script, I found it terrifying. My English
agents sent it to me and said, "There's this amazing part." For me, as
an actor, it was sort of scary. I'd seen Hunger (2008), which was done by Steve McQueen, and I thought it was just incredible. And I'd always wanted to work with Michael Fassbender. So, I asked to have a meeting with Steve to pitch myself for the job.
I think I model my life on Solo en casa (1990). I want to have crazy fun and get into scrapes.
I didn't feel like I was cool enough to go to a tattoo bar. They'd
just laugh at me. So I went to Selfridges. Sanitary, if not
rock'n'roll.
The idea of not having any control over what you're doing is terrifying. I was never very rebellious. The one and only bad thing I've done is have a super-heroes party when I was 16.
