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

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

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

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

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

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.

At the risk of sounding naff, it is having hope fulfilled.
