There's nothing worse than shooting a scene you haven't rehearsed.

I find that the acting's getting easier - with experience, everything is more instinctual.

UNICEF is successfully giving children and young people all over the world opportunities and hope. Just like the ones we met on the Long Way Down - protecting them from exploitation and giving them chances in life.

For the actors, there's something very important about that first showing of the scene to the crew, becomes like a little performance.

Actors don't like to read what they're supposed to do.

The script, I always believe, is the foundation of everything.

The other two things are... well, I had a huge appetite for old black and white movies on BBC 2. At the weekends they used to run matinees, and the more romantic the better.
