You can't really achieve anything in three years.

When I see daughters with their fathers I wonder what that would be like, although not in a way that immobilises me.

Please, I need you to save my ass.

I think when you have a character as richly drawn, I suppose then there are subconscious, mental notes that you've made.

It was fantastic to be able to have my kids on set. Dash, my eldest son, who’s not quite five, was into knights and his godmother had given him a plastic Marks & Spencer knights’ outfit and [first assistant director] Tommy Gormley said that he could stand to protect me during the scene where Clive [Owen] is talking about the immensity of sitting on the throne. I’m actually looking through an archway at my son standing in his knights’ costume protecting me!

Look, it's one of the great mysteries of the world, I cannot answer that question. I think I'm vaguely blonde. To be perfectly frank, I don't know.

I'm always without sleep. I've got two kids. I understand sleep deprivation on a profound level.
