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?

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

I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom.

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

When I left drama school, there were dozens of rep theatres you could apply to where you got a good training.

The academy awards in England; it's a classy affair as well.

I always considered myself very successful even before the success of Secrets and Lies.
