What I love about the theater is that you know who you're acting for: your audience. And the thing I find really hard in film is, you don't. The audience is invisible. And we're sitting there, hoping there's other people out there.

There is not a lot of separation between work and home life.

We're growing up with a very illiterate bunch of children who have somehow been taught that film is fact when, in fact, it's invention. Hopefully, an historical film will inspire people to go and read about the history but in the end it is a work of fiction and selection. As for the armour itself, no it wasn't particularly comfortable.

Oftentimes you walk on set and then suddenly you're in bed with someone who you've never met before.

I'm not dressing for anyone else. I don't really subscribe to other people's idea of what is beautiful. I just want to feel good.

It's important to travel and move and have a continual set of experiences so you've got more to feed back into your work. For me, it's a natural thing.

See the opportunity in the misstep.
