I packed coffee once when I lived in Australia, and I just remember going around every day with coffee up my nose and in my ears.

I think I'm a bit of a dreamer. I don't like the reality of life to impinge much on my life.

I guess I judge my films by how pleased I am with the work I do, so it's kind of on another level. If they do well at the box office, then that's great. Then I'm really pleased about that too.

I do feel like I'm not entirely an insider.

I think I'm much less self confident today. I actually went through a quite painful period because of that thinking that I was completely hopeless. But I think that's something that we all go through at various times of our lives and it was quite a sustained thing with me.

I think any role you need to play not so much transforms but I like to think of it as understanding the psychology of another character.

A lot of people have a fear of Shakespeare. Even actors do. People are like, "Oh, I won't go and see Shakespeare because the language is so hard," but it is. When you read it on the page, you go, "What?! What does that mean?!" If you go to a Shakespeare play and you've never been, you sit there and go, "I'm an idiot! I don't get it!"
