क्लासिक कृतियों की सबसे अच्छी बात यह होती है कि उनके पात्र बेहद शानदार होते हैं, उनमें जबरदस्त गहराई और कई अलग-अलग परतें होती हैं। मुझे उन्हें निभाना हमेशा से बहुत रोमांचक लगता है।
The thing about the classics it that they are such great characters, they have a great deal of depth and different layers to them. I always find that very stimulating to play.

मुझे हॉलीवुड की फिल्में देखना बहुत पसंद है - बस मुझे यह नहीं पता कि 'जुरासिक पार्क' जैसी फिल्मों में काम करके मैं खुश हो पाती या नहीं।
I love watching Hollywood movies - I just don't know if I'd be happy doing a Jurassic Park.

मैं चुपचाप बगावत करने वाली किस्म की थी। मेरे माता-पिता को लगता था कि मैं बहुत सीधी-सादी हूँ, लेकिन चुपके-छिपे मैं ऐसे काम करती थी जैसे कहती कहीं और जाने के लिए थी और चली कहीं और जाती थी। मेरी बड़ी बहन खुलकर बगावत करती थी और माता-पिता को साफ मना कर देती थी, लेकिन मैंने कभी ऐसा नहीं किया।
I was quietly rebellious. My parents thought I was very good but secretly I did things like saying I was staying in one place and going somewhere else instead. My older sister was openly rebellious and would tell my parents where to go, but I never did that.

कुछ दिन ऐसे कठिन होते थे जब आपको घंटों चीखना पड़ता था और फिर अगले ही दिन ऐसा दृश्य शूट करना होता था जिसमें सिर्फ सामान्य बात करनी होती थी, लेकिन लगातार पाँच घंटे चीखने की वजह से आपका गला बैठ चुका होता था और आवाज़ अजीब सी निकलने लगती थी। इसके लिए बहुत ज्यादा एड्रेनालिन यानी जोश की भी जरूरत होती थी, इसलिए आपको हर समय पूरी ऊर्जा के साथ तैयार रहना पड़ता था। इसे खत्म करने के बाद आप खुद को अंदर से बहुत थका हुआ और बिल्कुल खाली महसूस करते थे।
There were hard days when you'd be screaming for hours and then the next day, you'd have a scene where you were just talking and because your voice was so stretched out from screaming for five hours, it would sound weird. It required a lot of adrenaline, too, so you have to be able to turn it on all the time. You felt a bit thin at the end of it, just depleted.

चूँकि मैं एक माँ हूँ, इसलिए मैं तुरंत समझ गई कि वह दर्द कैसा होगा और उस खौफ का अहसास मेरे दिल को चीर गया।
I'm a mother, so I instantly identified with what that would be like and the horror of that.

शैक्षणिक दुनिया में जाने का ख्याल मेरे मन में एक पल के लिए भी नहीं आया।
I wasn't tempted to go into academia for a second.

मुझे असल में जेन ऑस्टेन की किताबें पसंद नहीं थीं। मुझे ब्रॉन्टे बहनों की रचनाएँ ज्यादा आकर्षित करती थीं। वे बहुत बेबाक और जोशीली थीं। मुझे ऑस्टेन की रचनाओं में कुछ हद तक ठहराव या नीरसता महसूस होती थी।
I actually didn't like Jane Austen. I was more into the Brontes. They were so wild and passionate. I thought there was something a bit tame about Austen.

मैं वाकई बहुत खुश हूँ कि मेरा पालन-पोषण एक कैथोलिक परिवार में हुआ। मुझे उस धर्म के मूल सिद्धांत बहुत पसंद हैं। मुझे लगता है कि वे एक मजबूत नैतिक आधार देने में बहुत मदद करते हैं। लेकिन आज के समय में, मैं विशेष रूप से किसी भी धर्म को नहीं मानती।
I am really glad I was raised Catholic. I like the fundamental aspects of that religion. I think they give you great grounding in terms of having a moral code. But I do not subscribe to any religion specifically now.

ऑस्ट्रेलिया में मुझे एक ऐसी अभिनेत्री के रूप में देखा जाता था जो सिर्फ बहुत आधुनिक और समकालीन भूमिकाएँ करती है। लेकिन जैसे ही मैं विदेश गई, मैंने तुरंत दो पीरियड फिल्में (ऐतिहासिक पृष्ठभूमि वाली फिल्में) कर डालीं, तो लोगों का रिएक्शन था, 'तुम इन कॉर्सेट (ऐतिहासिक पोशाकों) से बाहर कब निकलोगी?' और मैं सोच रही थी कि मैं तो अभी-अभी इनमें आई हूँ!
In Australia I was seen as somebody who did only very modern, contemporary stuff. Then as soon as I went overseas I did two period pieces so it was like, 'When are you going to get out of the corsets?' And I was thinking I just got into them!
