I am more comfortable on set than I am in my own home.

I don't think if you asked any of my childhood friends they would say that I had a weird childhood; they might say there weren't a lot of regular rules, the conversations in the house were always very open, dreams were a great thing to talk about, everybody was making something all the time.

I want to investigate what scares me and worries me.

Some people are just not going to like me and they're not going to like my work. But that doesn't mean I'm a bad person.

The closer you are to people, the more you realise what has happened to them.

My life is perfectly happy and giggly and I'm perfectly grateful every day; if there are problems to have, the ones I have are the ones to have; I'm lucky.

Try to be as good a listener as you are a speaker. Don't just put the emphasis on saying things. Listen.
