I have a love-hate relationship with white silk.

I have every sympathy for writers. It's a mystery to me what they do. I can edit. I can cross out and say, 'I'm not saying that' or, 'How about we move this to here? Wouldn't that make that bit of the story better?' But where any of it comes from is beyond me. I will never write a play or a novel.

I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously.

Talent is an accident of genes - and a responsibility.

What's interesting about the process of acting is how often you don't know what you're doing.

What is it about actors? God knows I get bored with actors talking about themselves.

There's, like, marks next to an actor's name or something, and boy does that go up and down! Somewhere in there, which always causes my mate Miss Ruby Wax great hilarity, I was offered a biopic of Frank Sinatra. Even I knew that was a bad idea! They'll throw anything at you at certain times. So, you know, to thine own self be true.
