I like to think that I represent myself as a strong woman, so to work with other strong women I find very inspiring.

People are so ready to cut you down if you take a risk and leave your comfort zone.

I love playing females that are put into these pressure-cooker situations, but they're real. I didn't want to be this kind of Lara Croft superwoman.

I'm a tomboy. I ride motorcycles, I play polo. I was on a paintball team when I was younger. Endlessly.

The feeling of gravity on your body and then off your body is so traumatic. But incredible. We with Tom Cruise were just like, Let's do this, let's have an adventure - let's make something beautiful onscreen. No wires. Let's not cheat the audience.

People in L.A. think Im so posh. They think I live in Downton Abbey.

The Tudors was ground-breaking in the sense that it did ruffle the feathers of classical historians and alter the way people did period drama at the time.

To trust other people to keep you safe, it's very difficult ... But when Tom Cruise is there, you just expect that he'll save you. I was like, Tom. You're Tom Cruise. It's your job to save the day. And the day is me. You need to save it. If I panic, I expect you to be down there.
