[on being nominated opposite Nicole Kidman at the 2016 Laurence Olivier awards] Well, if I win and Nicole Kidman is there, I'm going to say, there's no way I thought I would win because Nicole is here and see how that goes down.

The most valuable feedback came not from the press, though that was great, but from the addicts themselves. Before we opened at the National, one of the people from the local treatment center shouted out from the audience, "Good girl!" and I thought, that's who I'm representing; that's the story we're telling.
