I'm composing and writing music.

I don't have a vast longing for the stage.

I've been very lucky. I've had my problems in the past, I've had my troubles, but you move on. I had a great life and I am really thankful for it.

I enjoy painting. I don't know if I'm good at it, but I paint. I paint very quickly.

By giving up 'the need' and 'the want', things begin to happen for you

It's such a pleasant surprise when you come on set and you find someone in charge like Ken Branagh or James Ivory. You know that you're going to do a day's work and at the end of it, it's going to be good.

What I do is just go over and over and over my lines and learn the script so well that I can just be easy and relaxed. That's the way I always work.
