I'm as voyeuristic and intrigued as the next person as to how celebrities live.

It can be a miserable profession, acting, because you always want what you can’t have.

I find that what doubt does, or fear, is it makes you come up with as many ideas as you possibly can. And on film that works 'cause you're then handing over that fear to the director, who has to make sense of all those options!

I love the variety of films. In theater, you go into a room and the director runs the room, so you all work to his or her method. On film, if an actor or an actress is in for a day or two, the director has to get out of that actor what they need, so they have to change and adapt to that actor's technique.

If I do a film and have to get naked, that tends to dictate how often I go to the gym. Acting in 'Richard II' on stage was a huge physical workout, so I ended up more toned than I normally am.

Actors who perhaps are super-confident and have absolute belief in themselves I always admire, because I can't really be like that.

If you've loved something and then in some ways you become a part of it, you just don't want to be the one that screws it up!
