It's what people create that makes my heart stop.

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

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

I'm a very positive person. My grandmother taught me that happiness is both a skill and a decision, and you are responsible for the outcome.

I use my awards as doorsteps. Others are in the office or in little cubbyholes in our library – they go between the books, because they actually look like arty pieces

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'.
