- Great-granddaughter of Eugene O'Neill.
- Graduated in 2007 from prestigious London acting school Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA).
- I'm a big fan of David Attenborough, who I think is the most adventurous of the nature program presenters.
- I don't buy things now, I buy plane tickets. The only thing I want is to make enough money to be able to travel with my children.
- My grandmother died in 1991 and I was born in '86. We only met once, but I didn't speak English and she didn't speak Spanish--so we had a communication problem.
- I have to go through auditions, and my surname has got me into rooms, but I'll never know if it gets me any jobs. There's a lot of sexism and objectification, and a lot of people put you down.
- When people say [Charles Chaplin] I still think now of the guy in the mustache and bowler hat and funny walk--I don't think of an old man who was my grandfather.
