I've never done a big studio film, I've only ever done little ones.

I think behind closed doors people behave differently no matter what period we're looking at, because people have to stand up straight in public but can slouch behind closed doors - can you imagine wearing those corsets?

Maybe wanting to retire is my ambition.

In fact at home I sometimes like to be quiet and hear the sounds of the world outside.

Everyone the world over talks about British actors and British talent and I think thats because we were trained - until now - in theatre.

Even if I hadn't have been nominated for an Oscar, to have won the Golden Glove was just fantastic.

I hate that people think going to the theatre is a special occasion. I wish people would treat it as normally as going to the cinema.
