I love life because what more is there?

No expectations. Ask nothing, expect nothing and accept everything, and life is very well.

I am young! Being creative and keeping your brain occupied is very sensible because if you don't you die, slowly.

In the theatre, people talk. Talk, talk until the cows come home about journeys of discovery and about what Hazlitt thought of a line of Shakespeare. I can't stand it.

I know that some actors and directors like to have intensity on set. I don't, particularly. Certainly, if they want that, that's fine, but I can't work like that.

I never make conscious decisions.

I could stay making nice safe BBC movies for the rest of my life, so I decided to risk it. It was a challenge, to work with Oliver Stone.
