Before every performance, I think I am about to keel over.

People say to me that I cant be nervous because Ive had such a wealth of experience, but I tell them that I have never done this particular part before.

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?

I've made six films since I made Secrets and Lies but I still live in London and I'd love to do theater.

I think people often confuse success with fame and stardom.

My dad gave me threepence to pay the fine but I spent it on a Wagon Wheel

Maybe wanting to retire is my ambition.
