I've always been interested and aware of the way people are, the different ways they behave in different circumstances, I often think what would I have been like if I'd grown up in London. My dad stayed there so I go down a lot. I would have had a different accent for a start. When we moved quite quickly at school I became Scottish. I mean Jesus I grew up in Morningside, it's hardly the depths of needing to sound really Scottish," she laughs, "but it was just by osmosis. I can do an English accent though. When I was at drama school I never said why because I just wanted everyone to think I was really good at accents.

I like to think that in a situation where I'm threatened I'd be able to defend myself. There was a scene where she beats up a drug dealer who threatens her daughter, so it's all completely justified. I'd like to think - not that I'm a thug," she laughs - "but I think that was an empowering thing to see a woman do."
