I've often sat down with people talking about a film I've been in, and they haven't realized I was in it.

I listen to Radio 4 all the time. I didn't go to university, so that's my further education.

I spent my teenage years in Paris when my dad was stationed there, and I'd look at women in their forties and think, 'That's the age I want to be.'

I think it's very important not to grow up with the unhealthy amount of attention that is sometimes put on people because they are 'actors'.

I used to say that theatre was my favourite thing. But the more I do film, the more I appreciate it.

My own parents were very un-neurotic, so I never thought that I had to change enormously in order to become a parent.

I was lucky to learn early in life that you need money for food and shelter, but there's no ambition in having money in the bank for the sake of it!
