Those are more universal things than some of the characters I play, who are slightly sociopathic. I keep reminding people I can do ordinary.

I'm a high-functioning sociopath, do your research.

I've seen and swam and climbed and lived and driven and filmed. Should it all end tomorrow, I can definitely say there would be no regrets. I am very lucky, and I know it. I really have lived 5,000 times over.

Doctors and nurses do crazy hours and keep an ideal afloat through the love and care that they have for their craft and their patients and the institution of the NHS. We should be very proud of it.

I don't think I could form my writing into scripts or novels. It's so sporadic. My writing's pretty poor. I often think, "Who's this for?" Sometimes it's impressions of the day or my life, or it's fiction. Sometimes it's about things I want to remember, or I try to write in really awful French.

It still makes me giggle that I'm paid to act.

I have pitfalls. I have emotional responses to things that are really not about me. They're about other people.
