I always had a very strong sense of independence. I really liked being able to buy my Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill album. I wore that as a badge of honor. I love not having to rely on anyone.

It was lucky that Ralph [Fiennes] is someone who understands both film and theater and we were able to understand that scene so well before we took it to the set.

I think, as an actor, you're always traveling. There's a sense of dislocation sometimes from home.
Felicity Jones
Image
I guess I'm a bit of a romantic.
Felicity Jones
Image
But for everyone, I think, there is always a pressure to conform, and I guess as you get older you realize it's less interesting to do that. It starts with you, though, saying, 'I know what I like doing and that's what I'm going to do.

I want to be paid fairly for the work that I'm doing. That's what every single woman around the world wants.

Women want to be paid on parity with a man in a similar position.

I always hope for roles that have some depth and that I can get my teeth into and that will challenge me, in some way.

Image
I cry at the end of every episode of Girls. I'm just so overwhelmed by the truthfulness with which [Lena Dunham] conveys human nature.

Image
I was a tomboy running around in the garden. I used to play on a local cricket team. I grew up with all boy cousins, for the most part, and my brother.

My most treasured item is the brown leather bag that my mum bought me from a little Italian shop for my 21st. It's supposed to be a vanity bag, but I use it as a handbag.

I'm not a huge jewelry fan.
