I like Nelly's [Ternan] quiet inner strength. I thought there was something about her predicament that I found interesting - that she didn't want to be a floozy mistress, a bit on the side, that she had more self-respect than that.

The American vice would be sometimes speaking too loudly. You can always hear American people on the trains!

I'm a real geek. I love spending time researching a character and reading about them.

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.

Now we live in a time where the public and the private are completely fused and there isn't such a great distinction. We know our private lives are constantly made public. With Facebook and Twitter there isn't such a desire, it feels, to keep things private.
Felicity Jones
I do sort of appreciate Nelly's [Ternan] view that it would be woman who would suffer mostly from that - who would be ostracized. The rigid societal conventions meant that it was difficult to live outside of them.
Felicity Jones
Always, my mother said, Be yourself. That is sometimes the hardest thing to do. I try to always remember that and come back to that and have strength in who you are. There is only one you.

Now younger actresses will have a confidence in those discussions with their agents and be able to say, Can we make sure that I'm being paid the right amount for the work that I'm doing?

I'm not a huge jewelry fan.

It was amazing how much rehearsal helped with the performance - it was almost a theatrical approach to filmmaking.
Felicity Jones
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.

Women want to be paid on parity with a man in a similar position.
Felicity Jones
I'm small. I'm petite. But I'm a bit of a fighter inside. In my work I fight for, I hope, showing women in a true way. They've got brains.
Felicity Jones
I'm keen to have balance, as much as possible. I put every ounce of myself into my work, but also it's important that I don't miss every single wedding of my best friends. I couldn't do what I do without my friends and family.
Felicity Jones
When you're believing in the person that you're playing, you feel protected. It's about being true to that person you're playing.
Felicity Jones
I really enjoyed it - being involved in watching rushes and playback [in The Invisible Woman]. Ralph [Fiennes] was very open to my input, I think knowing that he couldn't always be there 100 percent, that he had dual aims with directing and acting.
Felicity Jones
It can be very intense being an actor it can be quite a small world. Then you speak to your friend who is a scientist and they have a completely different perspective.
Felicity Jones
A lot of my time is spent watching films and reading scripts. And it can be all-consuming. And it's obviously something I'm fortunate that is both my work and my hobby. It's what I would naturally be doing anyway.
Felicity Jones
Fashion choices are never arbitrary. Even if you say you don't care, that's a decision. There's something you're trying to say.
Felicity Jones
I think, as an actor, you're always traveling. There's a sense of dislocation sometimes from home.
Felicity Jones
I think Nelly [Ternan] actually has something very conservative about her, and she's very judgmental of (this other character's) situation, and can see that's about to happen to herself. So she judges it even more harshly [because] it's what she fears becoming.
