Do you have your next project lined up?
I’m doing a movie with Alan Rickman, a murder mystery. It’s incredible, called The Limehouse Golem. I got to shoot that in England, Barcelona, and Belgium.
Do you have a dream director or project?
“I want to carry on working with [Me and Earl director] Alfonso Gomez-Rejon and Wayne Roberts, who I just did Katie Says Goodbye with. He’s a great writer. I’ve got some stuff on my own that I want to write with him because I just don’t have the means. I have it in my head, but then I come to write it on paper and the dialogue is just like, ‘Where are you going?’ It sounds so robotic, it’s just awful. I don’t know, I’m not very starry-eyed when it comes to actors and directors because you could meet someone, and they could be dicks, and then it doesn’t really work well, and then you have the worst time ever. Saying that, Scorsese would be amazing.”
Who inspires you to feel more confident?
“My mum inspires me. She’s so beautiful, she’s so natural. She’s 52, has had two kids, has a wobbly stomach but will still bang out a bikini on the beach and doesn’t give a shit. We’ll be in the ocean being pounded by the waves, and her bottoms will come down, and she’s like, ‘Oh, shit, nipples out.’ I’m like, ‘Mum.’ But she just doesn’t care. And who inspires me as an actress? I think Kate Winslet is very brave. The way she looks is secondary to the parts that she gets, and the parts [she gets] she does friggin’ amazingly. She’s awe-inspiring. She’s had three kids and she looks like a woman and she’s beautiful for it. And she’s still got a career and three kids, and Hollywood hasn’t ousted her.”
If you could offer one piece of advice to young women to help them build confidence, what would it be?
“I’d say stop waxing your pubes off. We have hair down there for a reason. It’s sexy. You wouldn’t want your mum to be completely shaven down there. It’s weird; it looks like an elephant’s trunk. Stop waxing every square inch of your body, just embrace it. Down there, where only you and your partner sees it, who gives a shit, really? And if he doesn’t like it, get rid of him — because it says more about him than it does about you.”
