[on Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia (2012)] It didn't bother me in the slightest and I'm someone who's never done that sort of thing before on stage or screen. It was just a device for her; it wasn't nudity for nudity's sake. Hide

From a very young age, music was very much in my house. I would sit with my mom, with the old LPs, listening to The Beatles and Carly Simon and Lionel Richie. The old LPs used to have the lyrics.

My father's family are Jewish and my mother converted when they were married. But they separated when I was about 11, so I haven't had my father's Jewish family around me for a long time. I see my grandparents and stuff, but I was a child when I was going to Shabbos with them. So doing what I'm doing now is bringing back lots of memories. And when I look at the characters Miriam and Abe [in the play she appeared in, Beau Jest], I think: 'Oh my God, they could be my grandparents.' Hide

[on Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia (2012)] They give you a self-adhesive bra that sticks to you.... [Director] Paul McGuigan very sweetly said to me, 'OK, the choice is we spend hours shooting it to avoid seeing straps or we take all that off and shoot it quickly.' I thought I couldn't put myself through being there all day, practically naked anyway, so I might as well get completely naked and get it done in a few hours. Hide
