If I can make my mark just a little bit, then great.
I grew up in a very loud and dramatic household, and we loved being in the spotlight.
I remember being about six years old, for the first day of school, and sitting in the back of a Chrysler, pretending to cry while listening to Tracy Chapman.
We tend to kind of write women out of history.
Wearing a corset is extremely uncomfortable.
It's always shocking when you see a modern woman in a period story line. It doesn't make sense.
There's always going to be pressure, and there's always going to be an area where you disappoint. As a storyteller, you have to understand that.
We're learning things every decade we grow through, and ultimately, you do end up with a different way of looking at things.
During the Me Too breakthrough, I was hanging out with Emma Thompson and Emily Watson - two people I've looked up to my entire life. Talking to those women was so empowering.
I think it's so interesting which ways your career can go. I would have been a completely different actor doing a completely different story, and I would have missed 'Lady Macbeth.'
The women I'm attracted to playing I hope will mean something to someone.
Why shouldn't there be more epic, brilliant female characters onscreen?
Sometimes in the real world, there is fire between people.
I don't think I'm going to be an international sex symbol. I mean, I know I'm not going to be an international sex symbol.
'The Silence of the Lambs' is my favourite book, favourite film.
I love watching faces as they grow up. It's the difference between so many strong British actresses compared to what America does to women. I like a face that hasn't been tampered with.

I am learning on every job I do. There is something new every time.
I have been enormously lucky. My first role was in a great film by a woman director.
I have learned how to wrestle. You end up battered and blue - but so happy.
I know that my way of tackling a character is very different.
I've tried not to get too bogged down by what people want you to be.
The one thing that I always try and take with me, if there's, like, a remake, or you're doing something again, is that every generation has a new story to tell.
In 'Fighting With My Family,' there's a scene where I have to wrestle; I have to do the famous fight between Paige and AJ Lee. We actually did perform it in front of all those thousands of people. And just beforehand, we had a little dress rehearsal, and there were all these famous wrestlers going around and watching as well. Terrifying.
Something that I've always been really keen on representing is some honesty with the way that we view ourselves. That's something I've always appreciated watching actors that I've looked up to, is when they look like you and me, or they have a funny elbow, or they have, you know, a hairy face.
I'm a bit of a gypsy. I live everywhere; I live out of a bag.
The whole wrestling art, it's a whole form, is performance, and that's what makes it so exciting to do.
I think there's always some good reason to try and modernize most period things, because at the end of the day, they may have, I suppose, used a different language or a different etiquette, but ultimately, these are still people that loved and breathed and lived and ate and weed and pooed just like we do now.
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.
The Kate Winslet thing has been a shocker. I was like, that is the most ridiculous claim. Amazing, obviously. She's been my idol since I re-enacted 'Titanic' and fell in love with Leo. And it's a privilege to be called the next anything. But I suppose to be the next you is all you can do.
I can't remember a Friday when I was younger when I wasn't eating a pizza, flirting with the barman.
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.
I think you're always attracted by characters that are a little bit like you, or at least the worst parts of you that you can finally accept and say, 'All right, at least I know that now!'
If you ever want to be interrogated, get Michael Shannon to do it. He's an amazing man. I loved working with him.
For me, it's always been so obvious that the less we can edit our lives and more we show how normal we all are, the better.
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.
In order for us to appreciate this world, we have to be a bit more honest, and I hope I do that.
I was acting with all my childhood heroes: Meryl Streep, Saoirse Ronan, all of those amazing women.
My characters do have some fantastic taste in men.
I don't want to feel like I have to change myself or my image.
What I've noticed about Hollywood is, if you go out there shouting about who you are, they will love you for it. But if you go out not knowing what it is that you're representing, and you are just a canvas, they will make you into the thing they need you to be.
What we don't realise when we watch a normal film is how many times someone has run in just before a shot quickly to wipe away that sweaty moustache. You never see a normal spot, a bag under the eye or an unplucked eyebrow, because that's not how Hollywood works.
As beautiful as cinema is, it's a massive part of the problem of why we look at ourselves in the way we do.
Playing Paige, I felt I had to train to wrestle.
I like a role where some of the character's motivations are confusing or at least interesting.
I wanted to go to drama school, but when I got the part in 'Falling,' I got an agent, so it seemed a good idea to work. I always did a lot of singing and dancing, so I am glad it worked out that way. I would like to study stage acting at some point, though.
'The Falling' was a big, flashy, bizarre experience. I kept on saying at the time it was a fluke because I did the audition, and I didn't think anything would come of it.
'Lady Macbeth' is a great opportunity for me to prove that maybe the outcome of 'The Falling' was not necessarily a fluke.
I can definitely hold my hands up and say wrestling wasn't something that I grew up watching.
I hope to create characters that people want to watch - and they either want to be or are, or it's something that they recognize.
Why aren't there these epic roles for women, for whatever age you are?
If you look at it, the corset is a very beautiful item, but when I put one on, I realized how little you could actually move. And I'm a very physical person: I talk with my hands. And I felt how the clothes took that away from me. And that was the idea, I think. It was a way of limiting women.
What's important is to listen before you react.
My dad still collects newspaper clippings about me.
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 found out I got 'The Little Drummer Girl' and my BAFTA nomination in quick succession, and I just didn't expect it to be like that. I thought there would be a lot more time in between. It's been an overwhelming experience.
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.
Everybody's story of getting into the industry is just as difficult as the next person. Whether you come from money or no money, it's not easy... you have to offer yourself; you can't expect someone to get you.
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.
