The one dream I have is to do a musical. I love singing, but most people don't know because I don't sell myself as a musical person. My dream is to play Audrey in 'Little Shop of Horrors' - it would be so interesting to have an Asian Audrey because it's all about achieving the American dream in a sinister, success-driven way.
I pursued a theatre career, and Hollywood came calling.
I'd wanted to be [an actress] all my life.
When I was at drama school, I remember going to Amsterdam for new year and sitting with friends on the front of a P&O ferry in the wind, having some sort of 'Titanic' moment, declaring ourselves to be the new kings of theatre.
I had been nine years in the theatre and hadn't had massive success. My only thing was I wanted to be an actor and I didn't care when, where, or how much for.
I don't think a solo album is me. I don't consider my voice to be that kind of a voice. Not that I don't love singing, but Broadway was my original dream. That's what I've always wanted to do.
To be an English person in my 20s, doing a Broadway show - it's one of the mountains I wanted to climb.
Artistic ambition is important. And it seems it would be a great time to do some theatre, like a new extreme.
If I could play Jean Valjean, I think that would be the pinnacle.
Yes, I'd really love to get a chance to tread the boards in the West End, that would be incredible.
The only thing I wanted to do when I was a young naive kid was to become a New York stage actor.
Much like Tim Minchin, I'd love to write and appear in a West End Musical. That's the dream.
I wanted to be a serious actress and do all the classics.
All I wanted was to be an actor and have a happy family, and I did it. I still remember when I was doing shows in my parents' living room, and everyone had to watch me.
Every young actor wants to do 'Hamlet' on the West End. Why? Because they can bring something to it.
