More people saw me in 'Love Actually' than had seen me in everything else I had ever done up to that point.

I really have no interest in delivering the iambic pentameter, I just want to kill myself. I don't mind other people doing it. I say that, but really I don't want to watch other people doing it. I get embarrassed.

I don't seem to be able to learn from experience or anything useful. History doesn't help me. Precedents don't inform my experience.

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.

I have nothing against romanticism. I'm all for it. I'm helpless in the face of romance.

I'm not famous for my back story investigations; I'm lucky that I work with good writers and it's usually in the script.

The way the elderly are treated, and in some cases warehoused and medicated, rather than nurtured and listened to, is distressing.
