And though she comes to realize she may have feelings for her new friend, Rachel must decide who she will ultimately find the most happiness with: Heck, her new husband who is also adored by her family, or Luce, who has turned her life and everything she thought she new about love upside down.

× Awards: 1 nomination (view) "I've got quite a big gay following. I played a lesbian prostitute in the TV series Band of Gold (1996-1997) but I think my following really grew when I played one in this film with Piper Perabo. I'd worked with Piper before, on the movie The Cave (2005), so it was quite weird when we had to snog each other in the film. We just looked at each other and went: 'Shall we just go for it?' And we did."

• On the script and the characters
"Yeah, I think what strengthens it is that Piper doesn't sort of go 'now I'm a big lesbian!' It's just that she's fallen in love. And I like that Luce is steady and makes no excuse for who she is, 'that's who I am' kind of thing. I love that about it. When I was doing press in America I was asked if I thought Luce was repressed! I really don't. She's just stuck, she can't do anything. She can't run in and shout 'I love you!' I was actually really shocked at that comment, you know!"

• About the making out scene
"Piper and I talked about the kissing scene beforehand. She wanted to practise but I said, 'No, let's just run up to each other and see what happens'."

"For every film I've always relied on an ability to access real feelings. I don't know any other way. That's probably why some directors think I'm too intense. Yes. I think. Kissing her was very weird. We didn't even have the luxury of being drunk. It's easy to scream and shout, but to actually show intimate love in front of a camera is very hard. And almost impossible when you don't feel something for the other actor. But the chemistry was nice between Piper and me. We're old mates. We spent months together in wetsuits in Bucharest making The Cave (2005)."

• On being asked about Luce's clothes in the film
"It was mostly my stuff. Diesel jeans. And pieces I'd had for a while .. "

• When asked if there is any common characters between Lena and Luce?
"Well Luce wore my clothes ... ... we share that. And I'd say she's one of the most human characters I've played ... Emotional and real .. So yes we share those traits."

• If you could write an additional scene for IMAY, what would it be?
I think when Luce and Rachel are 90 and drunk on holiday ... • Luce: I met this girl... but she's with someone else.
Ella: Does she love you?
Luce: I don't know... no... yes... but it doesn't matter.
Ella: Oh... it's all that matters.

• Coop: It is you, isn't it?
Luce: What are you talking about?
Coop: I wasn't sure when he told me, but I knew.
Luce: What did he say?
Coop: Tell me it isn't true, girl! Dumb slut!
Luce: Don't start, Coop.
Coop: Don't start? Her husband. Her flickin' husband calls me in the middle of the night. And you want to know how he was? He was busted.
Luce: Coop, just get out!
Coop: What was that you said? What was that? About how you shouldn't bust in on another couple's marriage? Stuck to that one good, didn't you?

• You're a wanker, number nine!

• Luce: Don't forget me.
Rachel: I won't remember anything else.

• Heck: So, what about you? Are you married? Ever been married, ever going to get married?
Luce: No. No. Maybe now that the law's changed.
Heck: How do you mean?
Luce: Well, I'm gay.
Heck: Mmm... well done.

• Rachel: Alright. Well... umm... tell me about the lily.
Luce: You don't want to know about the lily.
Rachel: It's my favorite.
Luce: Ask me about the azalea.
Rachel: Oh, alright. What about the azalea?
Luce: The azalea means 'may you achieve financial security'. See?
Rachel: Lovely. Now, tell me about the lily.
Luce: The lily means... the lily means 'I dare you to love me'.

• Coop: Fuck me if I'm wrong, but I think you want to kiss me.
Luce: It's not going to happen.

• Luce: I think you know immediately. As soon as your eyes... Then everything that happens from then on just proves that you have been right in that first moment. When you suddenly realize that you were incomplete and now you are whole...

• Luce: Thorns! Thorns! In my bum! Ow!

• H: What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?
Heck: I haven't got a bastard clue, I'm afraid.
Tessa: There you are, you see. Now we can let him get married in peace.
Luce: It never happens. If there's a thing that can't be stopped, it's not possible for there to be something else which can't be moved, and vice versa. They can't both exist. You see, it's a trick question is the answer.
H: Can she sit with me?

• Luce: What's your name, anyway?

• Luce: What, is something wrong? I'm here to help.
Rachel: My ring. I was getting some of this punch crap and...
Luce: Your wedding ring?
Rachel: It fell off. Off and in there. My wedding ring is in there.
Luce: And you tried the ladle?
Rachel: Nothing.
Luce: And you can't empty...
Rachel: No.
Luce: No, it's too big. Right. Only one thing to do. Cover me.
Rachel: What?
Luce: Use the dress. I'm going in.
Rachel: You can't just... Oh, yes, really, you can.

• Edie: You need a love life.
Luce: I have a like life. It suits me fine.

• Luce: You should ask her, you know.
Heck: Bless you but... I couldn't ask Rach if there is anything wrong that would be way too scary.
Luce: Why?
Heck: What if there is?

• Luce: You can put an end to this!
Rachel: How?
Luce: Tell me to go. Tell me that's what you want, and I will walk away and you will never see me again.
Rachel: Is that what you want?
Luce: I want you. • Piper Perabo "It wasn’t. We did The Cave (2005) first. We were the only women in a very testosterone-heavy action film. We're in a foreign country, underground, in the dirt, and it was not that nice. I was lucky that she was a really amazing woman, and right away I was like, 'What's the Romanian word for beer?' and we’d go off together to just hang out with another woman. We became really good friends. So when Imagine Me & You came up and Lena was being considered for a lead, she was on the phone with me immediately asking 'Have you seen this script? Have you read this character?' And the two of us were plotting to get Ol Parker to let me play Rachel."

• Ol Parker "Damn, what is Lena doing to you guys? Actually I totally know and understand what she's doing to you guys, she does it to everyone she meets, and - as your question proves - many she hasn't yet. I can tell you that Lena is everything you would want her to be, and more. George orwell said that by 40 we get the face that we deserve, that physiognomically we become who we are inside. That is why Lena is so beautiful now, and why she will only get more lovely as the years go by. She is, as you say, a truly good person, and the world is a far better place for her presence in it.

The main reason luce looks so stylish is that Lena is so stylish. Many of the clothes she wears in the movie are hers - the boots, the jeans, the hat (which I seem to remember is from 'Diesel'), everything on the bench at the end, probably quite a bit more - and the rest she worked on very closely with Consolata, our wonderful designer.

Lena is as good inside as out - part of why she's so beautiful - so there are no horror stories of filming with her. She did attempt to quit smoking towards the end of the shoot, which I refused to allow for fear that nicotine withdrawal would darken her habitually sunny demeanor. So she quit when the movie ended instead. Just one of the many reasons why she was an utter joy to direct; she even carried on smoking when I asked her to.

Why did I cast Lena? Watch a scene of hers, any scene, you can see all the reasons. She's good, and kind, and beautiful, and funny, and smart, very smart. I don't think I gave her a single note all the way through filming. She knew the character, knew what she wanted to do, and did it flawlessly.

The toughest scene - the back room in the flowershop. The girls were fine, I was the one deeply embarrassed. And the easiest - anything (else) with Lena Headey.

But Lena was in the first thing I ever wrote, I've known her ever since and firmly believe there walks no finer on this earth, so it was an easy decision.

I've know Lena for years. She was in Loved Up (1995) (TV), the first thing I ever wrote. She's beautiful, truthful, and hilarious, without vanity or affectation, exceptionally clever."
