[about her "Macbeth" co-star, James McAvoy] The funny thing is you would never ever ever think the man is this movie star. He's just so down to earth. He could turn round to me and go "Your accent is shocking!" I have to remind myself to actually stop looking at him. Show less «

On her perception of the royal family after starring in The Crown (2016): I wouldn't say it changed, but it definitely deepened it, and gave it a human slant that I'd never considered before.
