Strangely enough I'm better on a stage. I love that I feel like I blossom in front of a whole bunch of people.

I'm a laugh tart. I make no secret of that fact.

And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It's incredibly, mind numbingly slow.

The moral of filmmaking in Britain is that you will be screwed by the weather.

For any new technology there is always controversy and there always some fear associated with it. I think that's just the price of being first sometimes.

Most actors really love it, that's what they want to do. They burn to do it. And so they'll read a script and think, that's an interesting part. And because they love acting, that blinds them to the fact that the rest of it is pretentious nonsense, which it very often is.

I think that's the whole point of Bridget Jones. It's all about that it's okay to fail.
