In the street, people talk to you about all kinds of things, but by far, the most number of people talk to me about Love, Actually.

When people warned me there would be long periods out of work if I became an actor, I couldn't keep a straight face because that was exactly what I had in mind.

When I do a play, it's like agreeing to be ill for a couple of months.

Emma Watson is adorable in the extreme. She is such a lovely person.

The job is the same - to attempt to make it sound like you've never said it before and as if it's just occurred to you. And that's the same whether you're on camera or whether you're on stage in a room full of people.

I never mind doing press; it's never bothered me.

I'm just aware of what I'm thinking and feeling but I do obviously have to get that to the back of the auditorium. So there are things like projection and filling the room, and not dropping the ends of lines - technical things which are important, but I don't think they change the way I feel in a scene.
