I don't tell the truth, I tell what ought to be the truth.

If you over plan New Year's Eve it's going to be a disaster so you have to be alive to changes.

The interesting thing for me about the debate about same-sex marriage ... is that it's one of those issues where it has no impact on anyone apart from the people that it impacts upon. So I find it quite bewildering that it's - that it's so complicated for people.

If you age with somebody, you go through so many roles - you're lovers, friends, enemies, colleagues, strangers; you're brother and sister. That's what intimacy is, if you're with your soulmate.

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

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 I'm not good at acting, I'm not good at anything else.
