A script is only as good as the director who's making it.

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

I can sleep anywhere! I can come off stage during the interval of a play, lie down for four minutes then wake up feeling better.

I had a great start in television; the first thing I did was an episode of Performance called The Entertainer with Michael Gambon playing Archie Rice.

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.

So often when you meet child actors, they're weird - they're freaks. No, I mean it, they're really odd people.

I feel as though my life is bathed in golden sunlight. And the really wonderful thing is that I know it.
