In the theatre, if you say 'Macbeth', all the actors will start looking very anxious. I'm so well-trained not to say it in the theatre that I can hardly say it in normal life.

Some people in my family achieved a lot, some people inherited a lot. But I turned my back on the whole thing.

I was one of those lucky people with only one talent. It is harder for people with many talents to decide what to do.

When people said schooldays were the best days of your life, I remember thinking: 'Tell me it's not true. This cannot be it.' I don't think my life has ever been that bad again. It hasn't always been easy but at least I have been free.

I went for endless auditions for tiny parts in obscure plays, and never got one job until I was in 'Four Weddings'.

I love buying things. I could be one of those crazy hoarders.
