I'm a lot less serious than people think, it's probably because the way my face is put together.

Film has to be reflecting the world that we live in, and that's all you want to be a part of. Actors inhabit the same planet as everyone else. It's a weird thing that happens when you're an actor because people hold you up because you somehow embody in parts groups of people or people's hopes or something.

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 think worrying things are going on in England - a real apathy.

We're dead as a species if we don't tell stories, because then we don't know who we are.

It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo.
