Everybody has to know for themselves what they're capable of.

You've just provided me with the makings of one hell of a weekend in Dublin.

I find it easier to work when it's quiet.

Acting is about people. Other people. Otherwise, you're not acting, you're doing monologues.

England is obsessed with where you came from, and they are determined to keep you in that place, be it in a drawing room or in the gutter.

I find it difficult to be in rooms now for long periods of time. I can usually take it for about an hour. Then I stride out.

I didn't like the idea of being foolish, but I learned pretty soon that it was essential to fail and be foolish.
