I'm not quite as buoyant as I was in my youth.

You know, I've had an incredible career and I'm blessed.

If you look a little punkish, then they're going to give you the parts. And if you play an iconic villain early on in your career, you tend to get asked to play one over and over and over again.

I'm from a country where acting is taken very seriously; it's a very serious profession.

The myth is that women and their families don't have to make trade-offs to have an 'extreme career'; they absolutely do. How you prioritize your life and career is your choice. Once you make a decision, stick to it; don't always second-guess yourself.

In terms of people that I know, my grandmother and my mother are huge influences on my writing life because they are both massively supportive and always have been of my career.

I want to have the same success in my acting career as I did in my boxing career.

I'd love a racing career, but as I didn't start until I was 28 I missed years of experience.
