I completely agree!!! I loved that show. And I would do anything for Greg Garcia who created it. He completely changed my life when he hired me for that show. I miss working with Garett Dillahunt everyday.

Things change, buddy! I actually think no one under the age of 25 should be allowed to be interviewed under any circumstances because nothing they have to say is worth repeating. And it's bound to change. Believe me, at 48 I know how to party.

Neither had I actually. But yes it's explained in the script - what I'm trying to prevent from happening. It's also possible that John Waters made it up which is entirely like him.

I never can think of particular roles I want to do. Although I think there are a bunch of men's roles that I wish I could do. As far as alternative career directions, as I mentioned before, I'm deeply interested in pursuing tracking as a discipline not necessarily a career. In a funny way it lends itself to what I do as an actor. When you're tracking an animal (not for the purposes of hunting, which I am profoundly opposed to as a sport) you have to put yourself in its paws, so to speak. It requires empathy, listening, an ability to focus on the micro as well as the macro, to zoom in on detail while also taking in the bigger picture. And even if you don't locate the animal or if you can't ultimately find it, it's as though you're in conversation with that animal, which I find profoundly magical, for lack of a better word. Pursuing tracking has actually, I think, made me a better actor. It's certainly reinvigorated my interest in my job. I could say it's reawakened something in me that I think I had perhaps lost touch with, having been doing this for so many years. So I hope to continue doing it as a way of maintaining contact with a part of myself that I need access to in order to be good at my job.

When I was 11, somehow I was cast in a series of Calvin Klein commercials by the legendary photographer Richard Avedon. It was through these commercials that I came to the attention of the makers of a film called The River Rat with Tommy Lee Jones and Brian Dennehy. I auditioned and got the part. I was 12 and it was my first lead role in a film. And that's that.

I don't remember the gorilla thing! But the idea behind the crab was that I was helping out with my family's fishing business. I think.

My parents weren't together when I was born and my mother raised me and they never married so it seemed the logical thing to do.

Thank you for this question - I don't find the subject sensitive at all. It's never been a factor in my work life. I've never been asked to keep quiet by any employer or potential employer or by my representatives. The majority of thinking individuals agree that reproductive healthcare is a human right. You can be certain that were anyone to ask me to keep quiet about it, I wouldn't work for them - so they'd be at a loss not me.

Thank you very much. This isn't a movie I talk about much any more so I'm happy to know that you enjoyed it and remember it. It was a really hard movie to make. We filmed it almost entirely in a swamp in Louisiana but I really loved working there and I really loved working with Jill Clayburgh and with my one-time aunt Barbara Hershey. Two phenomenal actresses who I think of often and fondly. I had my 16th birthday while filming that movie. It was one of the best birthdays I've ever had. We had a crab boil and a zydeco band and the whole crew came out to this house in the middle of the swamp. It was a really incredible experience.

Yes! I am certain I did enjoy the glass of wine. No, I don't mind people buying me glasses of wine because they go mad that I am in The Goonies although if I had known that at the time, I wouldn't have accepted it. God knows what you would have put in there.

I am a huge marmalade fan. I love marmalade and I eat it almost every time I put anything on my toast.

There are ways to get tickets! Every Monday at noon there are 'klaxon' tickets starting at £10. There's sometimes a queue on the Donmar website but people have got tickets that way. If you're under 25 there's also 'young + free' tickets which are donated by members of the theatre and others. And there's always cancellations. So come to the theatre and hang out up until curtain time and you may get a seat. It's also worth noting that if you are a member already or have already bought your tickets, the Donmar can't legally put anyone in your seat if you don't show up so please call and cancel your seats and get a refund if you can't go, so someone else can go in your stead. It's no fun seeing empty seats in the theatre! As for a transfer/extension, watch this space...

Thanks so much - I loved The Real O'Neals. Noah Galvin and BeBe Wood came to London to see me in Sweat and stayed with me and I love them.

That's a really good question. They are two different skillsets even though I think having a solid sense of stagecraft is helpful when you're in front of a camera. I work mostly on television now when I'm on camera. I've only made a couple of indie films in the last few years. I like TV work because it's fast. You're free to be somewhat more expressive. But that could be just a matter of the roles I play. There isn't a lot of film work for character actresses so I feel freer onstage and in television where there's a greater variety of things I can do.

I think this whole spirit animal thing is really overdone. BUT I love elephants. In fact, I love animals in general. As far as spirit goes, before I came here to do this play I studied tracking in the bush in Botswana. Which is something I intend to continue studying.
