I don't have any ambition to make lots of money or win an Oscar or anything like that. It's not about that for me.

I'm really hopeless with technology - I don't even have a computer.

Even today, England is a very repressed, repressive country, and there's pressure to be kind of a certain way, so people do things that ultimately make them sad.

I would have loved to have been a painter or a sculptor. I'm still fascinated by those things.

The thing I love about acting is that you can bring something very personal into the open and at the same time remain hidden because you're always playing a character in a story that someone else has imagined. You're always protected.
