Every teenager feels like a freak. It's part of being a teenager, part of the individuation from child to adult - those teenage years are who am I? What am I? Where am I going?

I'd like to see more female heads of studios because what's also being crucially lost is the female perspective: 50% of the population are not having their stories told.

I hope when people see that female-led production companies are working, there will be more of us.

Telling women's stories is really important.

If I wasn't an actor, I never would have known who Debbie Gallagher was. I never would know how her feelings are or how her emotions are, or her family.

I've always played that role in my family: the breadwinner.

Sometimes it seems as though all parents are certain that their children are victims of abuse by other children.

I think that it's rational to fear your own death or to fear harm to your family.
