I would like to have children while I've still got the energy. But then I have the feeling that when I have children I'll stop performing in the same way, because you don't really need to perform if you have children.

When I was younger, I made some decisions that I shouldn't have. And, in hindsight, I've almost always been wrong when I haven't listened to myself.

I broke things to get attention.

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

You don't merely give over your creativity to making a film - you give over your life! In theatre, by contrast, you live these two rather strange lives simultaneously; you have no option but to confront the mould on last night's washing-up.

My main memories of my father are of his illness.

I think some actors thrive on working at a much greater pace than I do.
