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

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 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?

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

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

I always think 12 times before saying anything.

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