I have done film, television and theatre - all at a pretty substantial level - I don't think it's possible for American actors to do that.

When I came into the acting profession, it was quite hierarchical. You didn't sit at the same table as the leading actor. Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir John Gielgud... these were very, very intimidating and powerful people.

It's so hard when you're young to look at older people and understand that they have been where you are. It's the weirdest thing. You just can't get your head around that, can you? You can't get your head around the fact that someone who is 60 was once 16, if you're 16. But the fact is they have been, and they remember it.

People with Parkinson's are not some weird people on the edge of human experience.

I'm a would-be rebel. The good girl who'd like to be a bad one.

I learned quite early on in life that we are all two people. And one of those people none of us will ever know.

I'm terrified of learning lines, and I've always been terrified that I won't learn them.
