The more you do it, the more you learn to concentrate, as a child does, incredibly intensively and then you sort of have to relax. I remember the first film I did, the lead actor would in between scenes be reading a newspaper or sleeping and I'd think, 'How can you do that?'

If you only exercise your soloist muscles, the other muscles quickly atrophy.

An actress once advised me, 'Make sure you do your own laundry - it will keep you honest.'

I'm the age I am, but my skin is in pretty good condition because I've been consistent with my skincare.

I love those moments on stage, on screen and in life when you dispense with language, when you sort of transcend it in a way, and certainly the experience of falling in love, I think, defies words, which is why poets, painters, musicians, actors have tried to describe that feeling, writers have just tried to put words to that.

I've reprised roles in the theatre, which is somehow more accepted, and where one can automatically go deeper and further into the role.

The less one can think about oneself, the more interesting and attractive one becomes.
