That's what I like about Neil Jordan's films: everyone is better at what they do than you are.

I need something to do when I'm not working, or I crawl up the walls. So I've just taken up kung fu. I was looking for some kind of calming, relaxing activity. I tried yoga, but it wasn't really me.

There's a statistical theory that if you gave a million monkeys typewriters and set them to work, they'd eventually come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know this isn't true.

Everyone should be good at what they do.

I just wanna build momentum again. Keeping yourself in work is one thing, keeping yourself in good work's another. But if it doesn't work out, so be it. As the Taoists say, Learn to accept that which you cannot change.

Even before my audition, there were several pages missing from my script because those bits were so unbelievably secret not even I was allowed to see them.

I hate auditions - when I'm doing them, I can't wait to get out the bleeding door.
